King Charles III of the United Kingdom:
"Immediately after September 11, when NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time and the UN Security Council stood united in the face of terror, we answered the call together, as we have for more than a century now, shoulder to shoulder through two world wars, the Cold War, Afghanistan, and the moments that defined our shared security.
Today, Mr. Speaker, that same unbending resolve is needed to protect Ukraine and its bravest people."
And a standing ovation lasting a quarter of a minute from the entire Congress.
Even Vance had to stand up and applaud. Take note, he did not decide right away. Speaker Johnson supported the applause almost instantly and nodded in agreement. Vance, meanwhile, hesitated for a long time over whether to stand or not.
A Standing Ovation With Delay Built In
Congress applauded protecting Ukraine, and Vance stood up only after hesitating.
Principle waited for a quick room check.
