Fox News paused their live coverage and went straight to the White House where Donald Trump spoke to reporters about a variety of issues – including the topic of British royalty.
King Charles’s upcoming visit comes at a tense time between the US and UK as the Iran war has strained the country’s special relationship. Some UK officials and residents have called on the King to cancel the visit due to the war.
While it’s not been officially confirmed by Buckingham Palace, Trump delivered an update as he made a bombshell announcement. The president suggested the King will be flying to the US “very soon”.
The commander in chief remarked on the planned visit while addressing the White House’s East Wing, which has been demolished to build a presidential ballroom.
It is set to be finished in the summer of 2028 where Trump has planned to host world leaders as a more suitable venue.

He has repeatedly suggested the White House is only equipped to host gatherings outside.
Trump said: “And you know the land in Washington was built on a swampy wetland.
“And when it rains, and you have the King of Saudi Arabia … the King of the UK, I would say King of England, a great guy, he’s coming in very soon.
“And when it rains, you know what happened? And the rain would go over their feet.”
