KING CHARLES TO PAY STATE VISIT TO U.S. – British government hopes will help to repair relations over Iran war
King Charles will make a state visit to the United States in late April, Buckingham Palace said on Tuesday, a high-profile trip that the British government hopes will help to repair relations with Donald Trump, over the Iran war.
Charles and his wife Queen Camilla will visit the U.S. in a long-planned trip to mark the 250th anniversary of that country’s independence from British rule.
“Their majesties’ programme will celebrate the historic connections and the modern bilateral relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States,” Buckingham Palace said, adding the trip was being made on the advice of the British government.
It will be the first state visit by a British monarch since 2007 when Charles’ mother Queen Elizabeth made what was the fourth such U.S. trip of her reign.
Trump said the king and queen’s visit would begin on April 27 with a banquet dinner at the White House the next day.
He wrote on Truth Social. “I look forward to spending time with the King, whom I greatly respect,” “It will be TERRIFIC!”
