The New York Post shared the details of the full exchange:

“This shooting …” Trump appeared to tell the British king after exchanging greetings on the South Lawn, lip reader Nicola Hickling told The Post.

“I’d rather not stand about here too long,” Charles supposedly quipped in response

“I feel I shouldn’t be here.”

President Trump then asked if Charles was OK before saying: “It’s not a good thing,” according to Hickling, a Forensic Lip Reading Expert & Analyst at LipReader.

“I wasn’t prepared, but now I am prepared,” the commander-in-chief continued before turning to the Russian tyrant.

“So right now, I am talking to Putin,” the president told the king. “He wants war.”

Charles, in Hickling’s account, tried to shut the matter down, saying: “We will discuss that later.”

Trump pressed the topic – warning: “I’ve got a feeling … if he did what he said, he will wipe out the population.”

“Another time,” Charles repeated before the conversation shifted to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom project.

“You can see right through there,” Trump said. “Right the way through to the ballroom. Would you like to see?’

“I’m sure you’ll show us,” Charles said, prompting Trump to respond: “That’s right, you’re right.”

The first couple then invited the royals into the White House after Charles asked: “Which way do we go?”

“We’re going this way,” Trump said, indicating the executive mansion.

President Trump and King Charles continued their conversation during a private, closed-door meeting at the White House today.

Tonight, President Trump will also host a state dinner in honor of the British royalties.

The NYT shared what President Trump had to say after his meeting with King Charles:

King Charles III and Queen Camilla have left the White House. President Trump spoke briefly to reporters after escorting the royals to their car. “It was a really good meeting,” Trump said. “He’s a fantastic person. They’re incredible people and it’s a real honor.” First Lady Melania Trump was also asked how she is doing after the attempted assassination of the president this weekend at a press gala in Washington. “Very well, thank you,” she said.
