What to know
- King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived at the the White House today, greeted by President Donald Trump and Melania Trump. The royal visit comes as relations between the U.S. and the United Kingdom are strained over the war with Iran. Charles is expected to address a joint session of Congress this afternoon.
- Responding to a question from MS NOW about whether Trump is unhappy with Iran’s offer of a peace agreement that avoids U.S. demands that the regime end its nuclear program, the White House said, “We have been clear about our red lines, and the President will only make a deal that’s good for the American people and the world.”
- Charles’ visit comes as the Justice Department contends with backlash over its delayed release of the full files on the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The king’s brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is linked to Epstein’s circle, and Charles has stripped him of his royal titles.
