King Charles to Visit Ottawa Amid Trump-Canada Tension

King Charles III will make a 24-hour trip to Ottawa early next week to present the throne speech at the reopening of the Canadian parliament on May 27, 2025.
Amid increasing tensions sparked by President Trump’s suggestions to annex Canada, Charles agreed to visit the country at the request of its recently instated Prime Minister, Mark Carney.
The visit features a community gathering at Lansdowne Park to honor Canada’s cultural diversity, a ceremonial carriage procession, and ends with a tribute ceremony at the Memorial to the Unknown Soldier.
Carney said Charles will outline the new centre-left government’s priorities to build a stronger Canada, stressing that "Canada is not for sale, ever," in response to Trump’s rhetoric and tariffs.
The visit represents a reaffirmation of Canadian sovereignty and is likely to be carefully examined amid ongoing tensions with the US, with King Charles and Queen Camilla aiming to make a meaningful impact despite the short duration of their trip.
