Donald Trump said King Charles III will be “very safe” during his US state visit, following fresh security reviews after a shooting incident in Washington DC. The visit, involving the King and Queen Camilla, will proceed largely as planned, starting at the White House. UK officials, including Keir Starmer, see the trip as key to reinforcing bilateral ties despite tensions over Iran policy. Events include meetings, a state dinner, and a congressional address. While framed as strengthening cooperation, the visit faces political criticism amid concerns over diplomatic risks and evolving US-UK relations. (PC: BBC)
