From the New York Times, it's the headlines. I'm Tracy Mumford. Today's Tuesday, April 28th. Here's what we're covering.

In Washington, King Charles III is making a state visit to the U.S., and it comes at a delicate time for the U.S.-UK.

relationship.

The trip was in the works for months.

It's intended to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence.

But there's a new weight on it now given the tensions that have

as the U.S.'s latest war of choice, that infuriated President Trump, who in turn called the

Prime Minister a coward for not joining in. Now, British officials tell the times,

they hope the king can help smooth things over with the U.S. Trump has long been a fan of the

monarchy and called the king a fantastic man. The centerpiece of Charles's trip will be a speech

this afternoon on Capitol Hill, and it's only the second time in history that a British monarch

has addressed a joint session of Congress. According to a preview of his remarks, Charles plans to say

that the U.S. and Britain have, quote, always found ways to come together, and he will highlight

cooperation around NATO and the war in Ukraine. Still, some U.K. officials have been worried there's also a chance

the trip could end up generating less than flattering headlines for the British government.

They're so concerned that Trump might bash the prime minister again, this time while standing

next to the king, that a photo op at the White House later today is expected to be kept as short

as possible with no questions from reporters.

Yesterday, prosecutors charged the man they say tried to carry out an attack at the White House

correspondence dinner.
