Lee Cohen has slammed Joe Biden as a "false friend to the United Kingdom" after the US president released a statement that wished King Charles a "swift" recovery.
The King was diagnosed with cancer earlier this week and Biden soon released a statement that read: "Navigating a cancer diagnosis and survivorship takes hope and absolute courage.
"Jill and I join the people of the United Kingdom in praying that His Majesty experiences a swift and full recovery.
Speaking to GBN America Lee Cohen, an ex-UK adviser to the US House of Foreign Affairs, said: "I think for a president who really is under the microscope for inflicting a lot damage on the special relationship with the United Kingdom, he doesn't seem to care much about it.
