"If it was to go ahead next month—the dates haven't been confirmed, but everybody seems to think it's going to be next month—it would go ahead against a backdrop of a war and that, I think, is quite difficult."
The Independent reports on mounting calls to delay King Charles' planned visit to the United States, scheduled for late next month. A senior Labour MP and chair of the foreign affairs committee Dame Emily Thornberry has joined these calls, citing deteriorating relations between the UK and Donald Trump's administration. President Trump has criticized Sir Keir Starmer regarding the UK's response to Middle East conflict. The strained diplomatic relationship, described as damaging the traditional special relationship between nations, risks overshadowing the royal visit. Officials express concern that proceeding with the visit against the backdrop of ongoing war would be problematic for both nations.
