Britain's King Charles arrived at the White House on Tuesday for a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, as part of a state visit intended to underscore unity between the two longtime allies, despite deep divisions over the Iran war, APA reports citing Reuters.
Charles and Queen Camilla were greeted by the president and first lady Melania Trump for a morning visit to the presidential mansion while hundreds of guests stood on the South Lawn with the Washington Monument in the distance. Cannons boomed, temporarily covering much of the scene with smoke, as the U.S. national anthem played.
"What a beautiful British day this is," Trump told the gathering under an overcast April sky to the amusement of British guests.
