King Charles’s US visit under security review after Washington shooting

Buckingham Palace says King Charles III’s four‑day state visit to the US, hosted by President Trump, will proceed but is being reviewed after the Washington DC shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner; the Palace and UK government are in close talks with US counterparts on security and scheduling, with the King kept fully informed. The plan includes addressing Congress, visiting the 9/11 memorial, and a wreath‑laying in Virginia, while conversations may touch on Falklands sovereignty; the suspect at the event has been charged and UK leaders condemned the violence.

He also expressed confidence in reclaiming two more cities but did not specify which ones. Zelenskyy met with lawmakers, military officials, and President Joe Biden, discussing the need for additional military assistance and the dispatch of long-range missiles. He also met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to strengthen their relationship and address concerns about Russia's military cooperation with Iran.

Rahul Gandhi's US Tour: Politics, Jokes, and Predictions.

Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi is on a three-city tour of the US, wooing the Indian diaspora and criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Indian-Americans are considered more than "soft power" as they have the highest median income among all immigrant communities in the US and contribute significant funds to American and Indian political parties. Any positive news coverage reported back home also has the potential to "boost electoral prospects" in India. However, projecting a reputation on the upswing will be "a tall task" for Mr Gandhi, says Temple University's Sanjoy Chakravorty.

FBI uncovers plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II during US visit.

Newly released FBI documents reveal a plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II during her 1983 visit to the US, with a man claiming he would drop an object off the Golden Gate Bridge or attempt to kill her at Yosemite National Park. The files also show the FBI's hypervigilance at possible threats to the British monarch during her visits to the US, particularly due to concerns about the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and its sympathizers. The Queen's cousin, Louis Mountbatten, was assassinated by the Provisional IRA in 1979.
