Earlier in the day, King Charles III delivered a historic address to Congress, condemning the recent assassination attempt on President Trump. He acknowledged the gravity of the situation, stating the speech came after an attempt “not far from this great building that sought to harm the leadership of your nation and to foment wider fear and discord.”

The incident involved gunman Cole Tomas Allen, who was charged after breaching Secret Service security with a rifle and knives during the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
Diplomatic Engagements and Initiative Showcase
The royal visit, King Charles’s most significant foreign trip since ascending the throne, has been marked by heightened security. The Trumps welcomed the royals with a red-carpet reception and a tour of the White House.
On Tuesday, the First Lady and Queen Camilla participated in a spouses’ engagement, where Melania showcased her ‘Fostering the Future Together’ initiative. The event featured young people using Meta Quest VR headsets to virtually explore UK landmarks like Buckingham Palace and Stonehenge.
