King Charles' visit to US to proceed after Washington shooting

London [UK], April 27: King Charles' state visit to the United States will go ahead as planned on Monday despite a shooting ​at a White House dinner attended by President Donald Trump, Buckingham Palace said discussions with U.S. officials.
Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla, are due to arrive on Monday for a four-day state visit, but questions arose after a man opened fire on security personnel near the White ​House Correspondents' Association dinner on Saturday, prompting Secret Service agents to rush Trump from the ​venue.
U.S. authorities believe the shooting likely targeted the president and administration officials, ⁠acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said.
Blanche also said he was confident Charles would ​be safe during this week's visit to the U.S.
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.
