The visit marks the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. Charles, accompanied by Queen Camilla, will meet President Donald Trump at the White House. Despite recent tensions between Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the meeting is expected to be cordial. Charles and Camilla arrived in Washington on Monday.
