King Charles visits Washington

King Charles III has arrived in Washington, D.C., for a high-stakes state visit intended to reinforce the special relationship between the UK and the US. The trip began with a minor diplomatic gaffe after local officials mistakenly displayed Australian flags instead of the Union Jack.

Tensions remain high ahead of meetings with President Trump, with reports suggesting the US could review its stance on the UK’s claim to the Falkland Islands.

The King is expected to discuss the war in Iran and trade tariffs during his four-day visit.
