King Charles III is set to meet US President Donald Trump in a closed-door meeting in Washington DC, amid tensions in US-UK ties.
The meeting is expected to be 'off-camera' due to fears of a Zelensky-like clash, following a previous meeting where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was berated by Trump and other US officials.
The UK's refusal to join the war against Iran has led to verbal attacks from Trump, and British officials are pushing for the meeting to remain offline.
During his four-day visit, King Charles will also address the US Congress, making him the first British monarch to do so since his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The king's speech is expected to be around 20 minutes and touch on several issues, including NATO, the conflict with Iran, and the Ukraine war.
