 Trump assures King Charles III will be 'very safe' during Washington state visit following security concerns

President Donald Trump said King Charles III will be “very safe” during his upcoming four-day state visit to Washington, offering public assurances following security concerns raised after a shooting at a major political dinner over the weekend.

Speaking ahead of the monarch’s arrival, Trump said the White House and surrounding area were secure and prepared for the visit.

“I think it’s great, he’ll be very safe,” Trump said in a television interview. “The White House grounds are really safe. This area of not very many acres is really safe. And he’ll be staying here… he’s going to a couple of other locations because he’s here for a few days.”

Buckingham Palace confirmed Sunday that King Charles and Queen Camilla would proceed with the trip after consultations with the White House, saying only minor adjustments had been made to the schedule. The palace said the royal couple was “eagerly anticipating” the visit and grateful for the coordination between both governments.

Preparations for the state visit were already underway when the weekend shooting occurred, with U.S. and British flags displayed around the White House in advance of the arrival.

British officials said the visit would continue largely as planned following discussions between Washington and London. The trip includes an official welcome ceremony at the White House, an address by King Charles to Congress, and a state dinner hosted by Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

The itinerary also includes a stop in New York for a wreath-laying ceremony honoring British victims of the September 11 attacks, before the royal couple returns to Washington for their departure later in the week.

The visit comes amid ongoing diplomatic tensions between the United States and Britain over issues including military policy, energy production, and immigration. Despite those disagreements, both sides have emphasized the historic nature of the relationship and the symbolic importance of the royal visit.

Trump, who has previously praised the British monarchy, said he believed the trip could help ease strains in relations, calling King Charles “a fantastic man” and “a brave man.”
