The King Arrives In The US, But Can He Mend The Special Relationship?
About this episode
The episode discusses the King's visit to the US and its implications for US-UK relations amidst political challenges at home.
Today, the King has arrived to meet President Trump for the US state visit. His arrival comes as security concerns are heightened after a shooting during the White House correspondents dinner on Saturday. The visit is also happening at a time when the Prime Minister is having trouble at home. Sir Keir Starmer is set to face a vote by MPs on whether there should be an inquiry over his claims about the vetting of Lord Mandelson. What’s in store for the King and can the trip help ‘repair’ relations between the US and the UK, and Starmer’s image at home? Adam is joined by political correspondent Joe Pike, chief North America correspondent Gary O’Donoghue and royal reporter Sean Coughlan. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.
