On January 31, Prince Albert II of Monaco sent an official dispatch to President Donald Trump in the wake of a tragic air collision above Washington D.C. The incident, which occurred shortly before the letter was sent, resulted in the deaths of 64 individuals, causing widespread mourning.

In his letter, Prince Albert expressed profound sadness regarding the accident, stating, 'It is with deep sorrow that I learned of the tragic plane accident that occurred on the banks of the Potomac.' The Prince extended heartfelt condolences on behalf of the Monacan people, offering his sympathies to the families of the victims and all those affected by the catastrophic event.

'Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

We stand in solidarity with the people of the United States as they face this profound loss.

May you find strength and comfort in the support of those around you,' he wrote.

This gesture of solidarity follows Prince Albert's earlier messages of support to the United States, including during the recent wildfires in Los Angeles and after a narrowly avoided assassination attempt on President Trump.
