On April 27, 2026, King Charles III and Queen Camilla begin a four-day state visit to the United States despite a shooting at the previous evening's correspondents' dinner. The visit—which includes a state dinner at the White House, an address to Congress, and a wreath-laying at the 9/11 memorial—comes as the American-British relationship faces its gravest crisis since the Suez crisis in 1956, with Trump repeatedly criticizing Prime Minister Starmer for refusing to support the American war against Iran.
April 26, 2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, commemorated by Ukraine in the context of total war.
