2:39Now PlayingKing Charles III acknowledged the significant renovations taking place at the White House Tuesday before joking about the British attempt to burn down the building during the War of 1812.
“On this occasion, I cannot help noticing the readjustments to the East Wing, Mr. President, following your visit to Windsor Castle last year,” the King said of Trump's ballroom construction project. “And I'm sorry to say that we British, of course, made our own small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814,” he joked.
