The significance of King Charles's visit to the USA for bilateral relations

King Charles of Great Britain will make his first state visit to the USA in April, where he will address Congress in a joint session on April 27. This will be the first time a member of the British royal family speaks before the American Congress since 1991, when Queen Elizabeth II had the same honor.

The visit takes place in a complex geopolitical context, with pressures from former President Donald Trump on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer regarding the conflict in the Middle East. Despite recent tensions between British officials and Trump, who requested the postponement of the visit to avoid an awkward situation, the king's visit remains a historic moment for relations between Great Britain and the USA.
