King Charles jets to US for four-day trip amid Iran conflict, media gala shooting - World
King Charles and Queen Camilla will embark on a four-day state visit to the United States, marking the 250th anniversary of US independence. The trip, initially planned for months, has been overshadowed by political tensions between the two countries over the US-Israeli war on Iran and the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ dinner. President Donald Trump will host a private tea with the royals, and King Charles will address Congress. The visit also includes commemorations of 9/11 victims in New York and conservation work in Virginia. Despite recent easing of criticism from Trump, strained ties remain due to issues like the Falkland Islands dispute and the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
