Credit: PA Wire | | King Charles's diplomatic skills were at play in the speeches he gave on Tuesday as part of his much-anticipated US state visit. While he appeared to have successfully rekindled the US-UK alliance, which has been tense since the Iran war, some lines in his historic address to Congress may have buoyed Democrats - and "raised eyebrows in the White House", writes North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher. US President Donald Trump referred to the conflict in the Middle East in his state dinner speech, claiming that the King "agrees" with him on Iran not being allowed to have nuclear weapons. The King, explains royal correspondent Sean Coughlan, would usually stay out of such political questions. | | | | | | | | - Watch: The US capital rolled out the red carpet for King Charles and Queen Camilla.
