King Charles III has a stacked agenda for his four-day trip to the United States, including a congressional address, a meeting with President Donald Trump and more events to mark the 250th anniversary of the nation’s independence from Britain.

The visit is a show of diplomacy between the United Kingdom and the United States in a time when relations have been tested by tariffs and Trump’s threats to leave NATO.
