Washington — King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived in Washington on Monday for a four-day state visit marking the United States' 250th anniversary and to meet President Donald Trump. Buckingham Palace said the trip will proceed as planned after a Saturday shooting attempt at the White House Correspondents' Dinner prompted a security review this weekend. The visit includes a private tea, a garden party, a White House state dinner and an address to Congress, and is billed as an effort to strengthen long-standing U.S.-U.K. ties amid disagreements over the Iran war and NATO. Palace officials and U.S. aides said discussions this week will focus on security coordination and alliance management.
