King Charles III visits Canada as show of support for country coveted by Trump

King Charles III has made a significant visit to Canada, demonstrating his support for the nation that recognizes him as its sovereign. This visit holds particular importance amidst U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent threats to make Canada the 51st state of the U.S.

The arrival of Charles and Queen Camilla at Ottawa Airport in Ontario marked the beginning of their visit. Upon their arrival, the king had a meeting on the tarmac with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Governor General Mary Simon, who acts as the king’s representative in Canada. Later, the king had individual meetings with Carney and Simon to discuss various matters.

Despite being 76 years old and undergoing cancer treatment, Charles is showing a strong commitment to Canada by making this trip. This is only his second visit to Canada, highlighting the importance he places on his role as monarch in this country and the 14 others where he holds the same title.

This is Charles’ first visit to the former British colony since becoming king in September 2022.

The king now must perform a tricky balancing act as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is attempting to reach favorable outcomes with Trump over trade and the war in Ukraine.

When Starmer visited the White House in February, he delivered Trump an invitation from Charles for an unprecedented second state visit for the U.S. president, who has repeatedly praised the royal family.

Carney, however, said that gesture had upset Canadians.
