King Charles' visit to 'revitalise' relationship with US, says UK ambassador
King Charles's visit to the United States will be about "renewing and revitalising a unique friendship", according to the UK's ambassador, Sir Christian Turner. The royal visitors are arriving on Monday. The trip will be going ahead largely as planned after Sir Keir Starmer spoke to President Trump on Sunday.
The shooting incident in Washington DC at the weekend, at an event attended by President Trump, added another layer of security concerns. King Charles and Queen Camilla privately reached out to the Trumps to give their sympathies after the attack. The four-day state visit will begin in Washington DC, with the King and Queen being greeted at the White House by President Trump and the First Lady, Melania Trump. The visit will include events in Washington DC, New York and Virginia.
Following the event at the White House on Monday, the King and Queen will have tea with the Trumps, and then attend a garden party. The diplomatic centrepiece will be the King's speech to the US Congress on Tuesday. President Trump will make his own remarks at a state dinner at the White House.
