The visit will highlight shared history and economic, security and cultural ties as Charles becomes the second British monarch to address Congress.
- King Charles III and Queen Camilla will visit the United States from April 27 to 30, including a private meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House to mark the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.

- Trump has repeatedly attacked Prime Minister Keir Starmer over Britain's refusal to support the U.S. offensive against Iran, while Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said in parliament on Monday, " is a dangerous and corrupt gangster."
- Charles will address Congress, becoming the second British monarch to do so, before the royal couple travels to New York to commemorate those killed on 9/11.
- The program seeks to showcase the breadth of the economic, security, and cultural relationship between the two countries, which has developed since the U.S. signed the Declaration of Independence.
