LONDON — It was June 2019, and the president of the United States was taking tea with the future British king.
The meeting between Donald Trump and then Prince Charles was scheduled to last 15 minutes. It stretched to an hour and a half.
Trump could barely get a word in edgeways. Charles did “most of the talking,” the president told a TV interviewer the day after they met.
One topic dominated. “He is …” Trump said, hesitating momentarily, “… he is really into climate change.”
