King Charles's US state visit tests diplomacy amid Trump tensions
King Charles III and Queen Camilla embark on a four‑day US state visit that is framed as a delicate balancing act: mending a strained UK–US relationship under Trump, navigating the Epstein fallout, and showcasing royal diplomacy with a Congress address, a state dinner, and engagements from Washington to New York, while the King’s health and broader geopolitics add pressure. The trip is meant to reinforce ties, push support for Ukraine and NATO, and lay groundwork for future cooperation with the US.
