King Charles Arrives in US for First State Visit as Monarch
The four-day trip includes a White House state dinner and a rare speech to Congress as officials review security after a Washington shooting.
- On Monday, King Charles III arrived in Washington, D.C., for a four-day state visit marking the United States' 250th anniversary, with security under the spotlight following a shooting incident on Saturday.
- President Donald Trump criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer for not supporting military action in Iran, adding strain to trans-Atlantic ties ahead of the monarch's visit.
- A shooting Saturday at a dinner attended by Trump sparked a last-minute security review; Buckingham Palace confirmed the trip "will proceed as planned," including a White House dinner and Tuesday's congressional speech.
- Trump told the BBC the visit could "absolutely" help repair the relationship, while Charles aims to reinforce long-term ties and remind the world that Britain still carries diplomatic weight.
- Despite calls from Ed Davey, leader of the U.K. centrist opposition Liberal Democrats party, to cancel the trip, the couple will visit the Sept. 11 memorial in New York and attend a 250th birthday "block party" in Virginia.
