King Charles Urges US to Maintain Traditional Alliances in Historic Congress Address

King Charles III addressed a joint session of US Congress for the first time in 35 years, using the historic speech to urge America to maintain its traditional European alliances and role as a defender of liberal values. The king made pointed references to NATO, the defense of Ukraine and the climate crisis, in what was read as a veiled plea to Donald Trump.
