Fox News abruptly cut to the White House during a live broadcast where President Donald Trump discussed various topics, including the upcoming visit of King Charles amidst heightened tensions between the US and UK due to the Iran conflict.

There have been calls from UK politicians and citizens to cancel the King’s visit due to the ongoing war. While Buckingham Palace has not confirmed the visit officially, Trump revealed on Monday that the King would be traveling to the US in the near future.

During his announcement, Trump mentioned the ongoing construction of a presidential ballroom in the White House’s East Wing, set to be completed by summer 2028. The new ballroom aims to provide a more suitable venue for hosting world leaders, as Trump expressed his belief that the current White House setup is not ideal for indoor events.

Trump highlighted the challenges of hosting foreign dignitaries outdoors due to Washington’s swampy terrain, emphasizing the need for a more appropriate indoor setting for such events. King Charles was expected to visit the US in late April for a three-day trip, mirroring Trump’s previous visit to the UK.
