About this episode
King Charles III addresses the US Congress, marking a historic moment in US-UK relations during a state visit.
In a historic first, King Charles III becomes the first reigning British monarch to address a joint session of the United States Congress, arriving during the state visit marking America's 250th anniversary of independence. President Trump opens with warm remarks on the White House lawn, tracing the shared Anglo Saxon heritage that shaped American liberty before the king takes the Capitol. Charles delivers a sweeping address covering the deep legal and cultural roots binding the two nations, the UK's largest defense spending increase since the Cold War, a call for resolve on Ukraine, the AUKUS submarine partnership, booming bilateral trade and technology agreements, and a brief but pointed acknowledgment of the assassination attempt at the WHCA dinner. Equal parts history lesson and diplomatic rallying cry.
