Donald Trump welcomed King Charles III and Queen Camilla to the White House on Tuesday as the King began a day of meetings in Washington. Despite rainy weather, the leaders greeted each other warmly and took part in a ceremony that highlighted the close ties between the United States and the United Kingdom.
The visit comes at a time of tension between the two countries, with disagreements over trade and foreign policy, including issues involving Keir Starmer. Still, both sides say the trip is meant to show their long-standing alliance.
King Charles is expected to speak to Congress, becoming only the second British monarch to do so after Queen Elizabeth II. His speech will likely focus on shared history, democratic values, and the importance of cooperation between the two nations.
