King Charles addressed a joint session of Congress overnight, declaring that the bond between the United States and the United Kingdom is 'irreplaceable and unbreakable.' The monarch followed in the footsteps of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who also addressed Congress during her reign.
In his speech, King Charles highlighted the importance of the AUKUS agreement, a trilateral security pact between Australia, the UK, and the US. He stated that the agreement will keep citizens of all three nations 'safer for generations to come.'
U.S. Vice President JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson were among those who applauded as King Charles arrived to address the joint meeting in the House Chamber of the U.S. Capitol. The event marked a significant moment in the longstanding diplomatic relationship between the two countries.
