King Charles III urges renewed U.S.-U.K. partnership in joint address to Congress
Summary
King Charles III told a joint meeting of Congress that shared democratic traditions bind the United States and the United Kingdom and called for renewed cooperation on security, trade, technology and the environment.
His Majesty King Charles III addressed a joint meeting of Congress in Washington, D.C., thanking members for their welcome and framing the U.S.-U.K. relationship as a partnership "born out of dispute, but no less strong for it." He said the nations have "been interlinked" across centuries and cited shared legal and democratic traditions as the foundation for continued cooperation.
