King Charles and Queen Camilla have begun a four-day state visit to the US, where the King is addressing Congress and attending a series of special events with President Donald Trump.

The visit coincides with Americans marking 250 years since the US declared its independence from Britain. But it also comes at a time when the "special relationship" between the two countries is under strain.

President Trump has criticised UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for - in his view - failing to support the US-Israel war with Iran. He mocked Keir Starmer publicly - declaring him as "no Winston Churchill" and described the Royal Navy's warships as "old and broken down" and "toys".

King Charles has previously used symbols to show support for Canada, after President Trump made threats about claiming the country as the 51st US state.

Can King Charles help to repair UK-US diplomatic relations? And why is the "special relationship” important?

We speak to the BBC's diplomatic correspondent James Landale.

Donald Trump has dismissed suggestions that his plan to take control of Greenland, in the face of opposition by his NATO allies, could lead to the break up of the alliance.

Asked about a possible threat to the future of NATO, President Trump said: “Something is going to happen which will be very good for everybody. Nato will be very happy and we will be very happy. But we need it [Greenland] for security purposes, we need it for national security and even world security.”

At a press conference at the White House, Donald Trump was also asked how far he was willing to go to acquire Greenland and replied: “You’ll find out”. He repeated his threat to impose new punitive tariffs on countries that opposed his plans.

Other leaders intensified their criticism of the US administration. The French President Emmanuel Macron said that Europe had little regard for bullies and preferred the “rule of law to brutality.” Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney warned of a “rupture” in the world order.

Mr Carney was speaking at the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Switzerland, where the US President is due to arrive on Wednesday to address world leaders and business elites.

Trump has threatened to intervene in Iran over its nuclear ambitions and after its deadly crackdown on anti-government protests.

The seizure of a Russian-flagged oil tanker by American special forces, with British help, is being called illegal by Moscow.

[Subscribe to our Substack newsletter: https://channel4news.substack.com/subscribe]

It’s one of two tankers seized by the US in one day, as America is putting the wide reach and full extent of its power on show.

The continued insistence that Washington will seize Greenland, by money if possible, by force if necessary. A move described by one Republican Senator as ‘weapons grade stupid’.

And all this a few days after the American capture of a sovereign head of state. Not a movie plot but the messy reality of geo politics in the first week of 2026. But at what risk, and in the case of Venezuela, to what effect?

Amid the Israel‑Iran war, explosions and missile activity were reported in and around Cyprus, where Britain’s strategic RAF bases are located, after the UK agreed to let the United States use some British bases for limited defensive action against Iranian missile threats. British Defence Secretary John Healey said two missiles were fired in the direction of Cyprus amid Iran’s retaliation for joint US‑Israeli strikes on Iran, though authorities believe they were not deliberately aimed at the island.

Plans to impose a ban on UK imports of diesel and jet fuel made from Russian oil in third countries have been watered down amid concerns over supplies and price rises.

The UK government will now "phase in" some new sanctions over the coming months due to the effective blockade of the key Strait of Hormuz waterway since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran.

The Foreign Office denied the shift in policy could be described as a "waiver" on sanctions aimed at hurting Russia's economy, but admitted extra flexibilities were required.

Vladyslav Vlasiuk, sanctions commissioner for Ukraine, said he understood "the rationale behind the UK's decision", but said he disagreed with the approach.

US President Donald Trump has said there have been "productive conversations" about a "complete and total resolution" to the conflict in the Middle East.

He said he will "postpone any and all strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure" for a five day period.

On Saturday night, Trump gave Iran a 48-hour deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz - or, he said, the US would "obliterate" Iranian power plants, "starting with the biggest one first".

Iran has reportedly fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles toward the US-UK military base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict with Western powers. According to US officials cited by The Wall Street Journal, one missile failed mid-flight while another triggered an interception attempt by a US warship. The strike attempt came shortly after the United Kingdom approved the use of its bases for US operations targeting Iranian missile sites in the Strait of Hormuz. The development raises concerns over Iran’s expanding missile range, estimated at nearly 4,000 kilometers—far beyond its previously stated limits—and signals a potential widening of the conflict beyond the Middle East.

Today, Laura and Paddy discuss Iranian missiles fired at Diego Garcia, the joint UK-US base in the Indian Ocean.

Two ballisitic missiles were fired at the island of Diego Garcia, the Wall Street Journal and CNN reported overnight, citing unnamed US officials, but neither weapon reached its target.

One missile reportedly failed in flight, while the other was intercepted by a US warship. It is unclear when the missiles were supposedly fired.

The BBC understands the reports are accurate.

They unpack the significance of the launches, and what it means for the UK’s involvement in the war in Iran.

And, Laura and Paddy speak to David Miliband, former foreign secretary and current president of humanitarian aid organisation, the International Rescue Committee. He discusses the humanitarian cost of the war at a time when this government is cutting £6 billion from the overseas budget by 2027.

An American crew member rescued after a fighter jet was shot down over Iran is “safe and sound”, US President Donald Trump said.

The operation to rescue the airman led to an engagement between US and Iranian forces, after a race to locate them, with Iranian officials offering cash rewards to citizens to find them "alive”.

It is understood the rescue was a hugely complex operation involving significant US military resources, with hundreds of special forces personnel, several dozen warplanes and helicopters tasked with the search.

Donald Trump has dismissed British aircraft carriers as "toys" compared to US vessels, claiming the UK offered to send them only after the Iran war ends.

The president says Iran is "begging to make a deal" nearly four weeks into the conflict, but his war cabinet continues bombing while negotiations stall.

Donald Trump has said next week's state visit from King Charles and Queen Camilla could help repair relations with the UK.

When asked in a phone interview with the BBC whether the visit could help, Trump said: "Absolutely. He's fantastic. He's a fantastic man. Absolutely the answer is yes... I know him well, I've known him for years… He's a brave man, and he's a great man. They would absolutely be a positive."

The president also spoke about his relationship with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who he said could only "recover" if he changed course on immigration.

The King and Queen are travelling to the US for a four-day visit and will meet with Trump at the White House. The King will have a private meeting with the president and also deliver an address to Congress.

Trump was also asked about his relationship with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The two leaders have appeared at odds over the war in Iran. Trump has said he is "not happy" with the level of support offered by the UK, while Sir Keir has repeatedly said the country will not be drawn into a wider conflict.

When the president was asked why he needed allies such as the UK to get involved, he told the BBC: "I didn't need them at all but they should've been there. I didn't need them, obviously.”

"I wanted to see whether or not they would be involved," Trump said, describing his calls for support from allies as "more of a test".

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has insisted the UK will not join offensive action in Iran.

But - he has agreed to a US request to use British military bases for "defensive" strikes on Iranian missile sites.

It comes after a weekend of conflict, with the US and Israel launching widespread strikes on Saturday targeting Iran's missile infrastructure, military sites and senior leaders. Iran has responded by launching missiles and drones across the Middle East.

The UK prime minister said Britain had learned lessons from the "mistakes of Iraq", and was not involved in the initial strikes on Iran and "will not join offensive action now".

The King and Queen will carry out a state visit to the US next month, Buckingham Palace has announced.

The visit will mark the 250th anniversary of ​America's independence from British rule.

But it comes amid heightened tension between the two allies, with Donald Trump once again criticising the UK on Truth Social on Tuesday, telling Britain to "go get your own oil".

It follows the UK's initial refusal to allow UK airbases to be used in the US-Israel war on Iran.
