Charles III, the British monarch, addressed a joint session of the US Congress on Tuesday, marking the second time a British monarch has done so. The visit aimed to shore up the 'special relationship' between the US and UK, with Charles promoting continued US commitment to the conflict in Ukraine. Charles was received with full ceremonial honors, including a 21-gun salute at the White House and a white-tie banquet attended by US oligarchs such as Jeff Bezos and Tim Cook. Charles's address to Congress focused on 'peace' and 'friendship,' but also boasted of the 'biggest sustained increase' in British military spending since the Cold War. The visit has been criticized for its ideological implications, with the American ruling class being accused of repudiating the revolutionary traditions of 1776. The event was attended by Trump's fascist cabinet members and right-wing media personalities, highlighting the ties between the US and UK ruling elites.
