King Charles III's state visit to the US is unfolding against a backdrop of growing tension between London and Washington. The UK has refused to join President Donald Trump's war in Iran, making Prime Minister Keir Starmer a target for Trump's criticism. The visit, featuring garden parties and 9/11 commemorations, comes after a gunman attempted to storm the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. The alleged shooter, Cole Tomas Allen, was stopped by Secret Service officers and is due to appear in court on multiple firearms charges. Despite heightened security concerns, the trip will continue as planned following urgent security discussions. The King and Queen reached out to Trump and first lady Melania Trump to express their sympathies after the incident.
