King Charles' state visit to the U.S. will go ahead as planned on Monday despite a shooting at a White House dinner attended by President Donald Trump, Buckingham Palace said after discussions with U.S. officials. The four-day trip - which is to include a private meeting with Trump and an address to Congress marking 250 years since U.S. independence — is intended to reinforce the strained U.S.-British relationship ‌amid differences over the Iran war.
