"King Charles III and the Prince of Wales are expected to make separate trips to the US in 2026 as part of a campaign to revitalise a trade deal with Donald Trump, it has been reported. Advanced talks on a visit by the king are said to be under way, the Times reported. The paper suggested that Charles's visit to the US was likely to take place in April. William is expected to make a separate visit to the US later in the year."
"Earlier this month, the US paused its promised multibillion-pound investment into British tech over trade disagreements. As part of the 31bn deal, hailed by Keir Starmer as a generational step-change in our relationship with the US when it was announced during Trump's state visit, US tech companies pledged to spend billions in the UK, including a 22bn investment from Microsoft and 5bn from Google. But Washington paused the implementation of the agreement, citing a lack of progress from the UK in lowering trade barriers."
King Charles III and the Prince of Wales are expected to make separate US trips in 2026 aimed at revitalising a trade deal linked to Donald Trump. Advanced talks are reportedly under way for a king’s visit likely in April, while the Prince of Wales is expected to visit later in the year. The US recently paused promised multibillion-pound tech investments tied to a reported 31bn deal after citing slow progress on lowering trade barriers. The package included pledged investments such as 22bn from Microsoft and 5bn from Google. UK officials say talks with the US remain active amid negotiator frustration over wider trade progress.
