Royals Bid Farewell, Amid U.S.-U.K. Tensions

0:00On April 30, Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla are wrapping up their four-day state visit to the United States today with a formal send-off. From President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, right here in Washington, the trip marks the 250th anniversary of America's Declaration of Independence from British rule, but it's happening against the backdrop. A friction between the two nations, as Trump calls out British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for not doing enough to back the U.S. and Israel in there, war against Iran. Earlier this week, Charles stole the show with a speech to a joint session of Congress, followed by a big-state dinner at the White House, where he highlighted the deep military and cultural bonds between the U.K. and U.S. plus the key role of NATO even as Trump questions the alliance's support in the conflict. Yesterday, the royal couple paid respects at the 9-11 Memorial in New York, laying a wreath for the victims of the al-Qaeda attacks that brought down the world trade center towers.
