On Tuesday, April 28, King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived at the White House for a traditional military welcoming ceremony. President Donald Trump and King Charles met in the Oval Office, and Camilla attended a education event with Melania Trump. On the evening of the same day, Charles gave an address to a joint meeting of Congress.
The relationship between the U.S. and the U.K. has been strained since the start of the U.S.-Israel war with Iran. This started when Trump critiqued Prime Minister Keir Starmer for refusing to offer military assistance. The goal of this visit was to reestablish relations in a time of growing geopolitical challenges.
