King Charles Speaks to US Congress: A Historic Partnership

0:00On April 28, King Charles is set to address both houses of U.S. Congress on Tuesday, a rare honor for a British monarch during his four-day state. Visit to Washington. This marks the 250th anniversary of American independence from the U.K. and the speech. Hold not to recent tensions between the two nations, but stress that time and again, they've always found ways to come together. Tension stemmed from Donald Trump's threats to scrap trade deals, imposed big tariffs over the U.K.'s digital services tax, and his jabs at the Royal Navy and Prime Minister Kier Starmer. Starmer's refusal to join the U.S. and Israel offensive against Iran has fueled the friction even as it shakes up the global economy. The trip got off to a rough start with an assassination attempt on Trump at a Washington media dinner Saturday night. Charles plans a brief mention offering the British people's highest regard and friendship to Americans. It's only the second time a monarch has spoken to Congress jointly, following Queen Elizabeth

He'll touch on protecting nature, fostering compassion across face, and how their alliance promotes world security and prosperity amid rising costs. From the Iran conflict. Through it all, the King sees 250 years of reconciliation building one of history's greatest partnerships ready to safeguard those values well into the future.
