A surprising burst of praise from President Donald Trump has landed just days before King Charles and Queen Camilla touch down in the U.S. for a four-day state visit that has everyone talking. Read on to discover the full story!

Trump's Warm Welcome

Speaking to the BBC, Trump offered warm words about the King, saying he knows him well and calling him brave and admirable. The president suggested the visit could help smooth tensions between the longtime allies after a period of sharp disagreements.

A packed, symbolic itinerary

The royal couple arrive in Washington, D.C., on April 27 for events tied to America’s 250th anniversary. Official plans include a private tea with the Trumps, a garden party, a ceremonial military review, and a rare address to a joint meeting of Congress — only the second British monarch to do so since Queen Elizabeth in 1991 — followed by a White House state dinner. They’ll then visit New York for a One World Trade Center stop and a reception for The King’s Trust, and finish in Virginia with community visits, Appalachian performances and a national-park “block party” for the 250th.
