King Charles III is set to visit Washington on a mission to restore the UK-US relationship after a shooting at a Washington dinner attended by President Donald Trump sparked a last-minute security review. The four-day state visit is intended to celebrate the United States’ 250th anniversary and the U.K. "special relationship" with the UK. A rift between the UK government and Trump over issues such as the Iran war has already raised the political stakes for Charles' visit. The president insists that the political chill won't affect the royal visit. Some have called for the trip to be canceled, while others argue that the trip is an embarrassment for Pope Leo XIV.
