U.S. President\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0and\u00a0King Charles III\u00a0greeted one another warmly on Tuesday because the monarch began a day of diplomacy in Washington designed to emphasise a bond between the UK and the USA that’s so strong it will probably withstand the political turmoil of the moment.<\/p>\n

Under gray, drizzly skies, Trump welcomed Charles and\u00a0Queen Camilla\u00a0to the White House in a ceremony on the South Lawn, with the president quipping that it was a \u201cbeautiful British day.\u201d The king shook hands with members of Trump\u2019s Cabinet and joined the president for a rendition of the national anthem.<\/p>\n

The royal visit comes at a difficult moment for U.S.-U.K. relations but is meant as a celebration of America\u2019s 250th anniversary of independence from Britain. In his welcome remarks, Trump highlighted the shared history between the 2 countries and sought to attract a line from King John\u2019s sealing of the Magna Carta in 1215 to the American Revolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerican patriots today can sing, \u2018My country, \u2019tis of thee, sweet land of liberty,\u2019 only because our colonial ancestors first sang, \u2018God save the King,\u2019\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

The 2 leaders huddled within the Oval Office for a gathering that was closed to the general public, reducing the potential for the freewheeling, sometimes controversial meetings with foreign officials which have grow to be routine during Trump\u2019s second term. Afterward, Trump said it was a \u201creally good meeting\u201d and Charles is a \u201cincredible person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles will later address\u00a0the U.S. Congress, only the second monarch to accomplish that. His mother,\u00a0Queen Elizabeth II, delivered an analogous speech in 1991 highlighting the historic ties between each countries and the importance of their democratic values, themes Charles will likely reinforce on Tuesday. Such addresses are a possibility afforded to only probably the most distinguished world leaders, including Pope Francis, V\u00e1clav Havel and Winston Churchill.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tKing’s most extensive public remarks may come during congressional address\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The congressional speech will likely mark the most costly public remarks Charles will deliver during his four-day visit to the U.S. He\u2019s expected to deal with the Saturday\u00a0shooting on the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner\u00a0in an indication of solidarity and support.<\/p>\n

He can even acknowledge tensions which have surfaced between Trump and British Prime Minister\u00a0Keir Starmer, noting that the 2 countries haven’t at all times agreed but have at all times found ways to return together.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s up-and-down relationship with Starmer has taken a very sour turn over the past several months because the Republican president has sought to rally international support for the war in Iran. Trump criticized Starmer, who has largely resisted his overtures, by saying \u201cthis just isn’t Winston Churchill that we\u2019re coping with.\u201d<\/p>\n
