President Trump and first lady Melania Trump welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla to Washington, D.C., on Monday. It’s Charles’s first visit to the U.S. since he ascended to the throne in 2022. He’s due to address a joint session of Congress this afternoon. His speech comes after Trump threatened to cancel a U.S.-U.K. trade deal, mocked the Royal Navy and insulted U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer as “weak and cowardly” and a “loser with no future.” During his U.S. visit, King Charles will not meet with survivors of sexual abuse and human trafficking by Jeffrey Epstein, despite a request by California Congressmember Ro Khanna for a private meeting. Charles’s brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his royal title of prince and arrested in February amid accusations of misconduct in public office, over his close ties to Epstein.
