King Charles's rare state visit offers U.K. a chance to mend ties with Trump

Days after a shooting that apparently targeted President Donald Trump's administration and sparked fresh concerns about security in the nation's capital, King Charles III was set Monday to embark on a rare state visit that promised to pit the president's admiration for British royalty against his fury at the British government.

The long-planned encounter had been intended to showcase close Anglo-American relations 250 years after the Declaration of Independence. Instead, it comes in the middle of one of the sharpest fights between Washington and London in generations, as Trump and Prime Minister Keir Starmer tussle over the president's war on Iran and whether either side still wants to hold on to the close cooperation of the past.
