King Charles III addressed a joint meeting of Congress, using the occasion to subtly critique America's current political landscape. He defended key pillars of Western democracy, including checks and balances, alliances, and interfaith tolerance. The king also called for strong defense of Ukraine and protection of the environment, referencing climate change. Charles stressed that friends can disagree without damaging long-term bonds, an apparent reference to the strained 'special relationship' between the US and UK. He showed respect for his hosts, quoting President Donald Trump's praise for the 'bond of kinship' between the two nations.

Charles presented Trump with a unique gift, the original bell from the conning tower of HMS Trump, a Royal Navy submarine that served in World War II.
