Paris follows Charles III's state visit to Washington as a test of the 'special relationship' in a fractured Europe
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
20 Minutes and RFI cover King Charles III's state visit live: Trump welcomes him warmly, but the visit comes amid deep divergences over Iran and NATO. France 24 tracks the diplomatic timeline hour by hour: Trump unhappy with the latest Iranian proposal, which defers nuclear talks to a later phase — unacceptable for Washington. RFI reports the indictment of Cole Allen for 'attempted assassination' of Trump at the correspondents' dinner, an episode further complicating Charles III's diplomatic mission to 'maintain the special relationship.' French coverage is doubly attentive: to the transatlantic fracture over Iran (already documented by Barrot's UN statement), and to US domestic turbulence that weakens Washington's credibility as a reliable partner.
