伦敦——白金汉宫和特朗普总统周二宣布，英国国王查尔斯三世将于4月底对美国进行国事访问，证实了多名消息人士本月早些时候告诉CBS新闻的、将在未来几周内成行的访问计划。消息人士还告诉CBS新闻，荷兰国王威廉-亚历山大便也将于6月访问华盛顿，并入住白宫。
白金汉宫在周二的声明中表示，查尔斯的此次访问“将庆祝英美两国的历史联系与现代双边关系，纪念美国独立250周年”。特朗普总统表示，此次访问将于4月27日至30日举行。
“梅拉尼娅和我很高兴地宣布，联合王国国王和王后陛下将于4月27日至30日对美国进行具有历史意义的国事访问，其中包括4月28日晚在白宫举行的盛大国宴，”特朗普在Truth社交平台上写道。“今年的这一重大场合将更加特别，因为我们将纪念我们伟大国家建国250周年。”
这将是查尔斯三世担任国王以来首次对美国进行国事访问，不过在他成为威尔士亲王期间，曾19次访问美国。白金汉宫表示，他的母亲、已故的伊丽莎白二世女王曾分别于1957年、1976年、1991年和2007年四次对美国进行国事访问。
特朗普去年9月对英国进行了国事访问，出席了查尔斯和卡米拉王后在温莎城堡举办的奢华国宴，威廉王子及其妻子威尔士王妃凯瑟琳也出席了此次宴会。
国王此次访问华盛顿之际，美英关系正处于紧张时期。特朗普一直严厉批评首相基尔·斯塔默不愿加入美以联合对伊朗发动战争，尽管英国允许美国使用其基地开展“防御性”行动。
此次访问还恰逢围绕国王与已定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的关联引发的争议。查尔斯三世已剥夺了其弟弟、前安德鲁王子的王室头衔。此前爱泼斯坦文件曝光后，安德鲁王子于上月因涉嫌公职行为不端被捕。
英国前驻美大使彼得·曼德尔森也于上月被捕，因其与爱泼斯坦的关联而涉嫌公职行为不端。
结束美国之行后，查尔斯将继续访问百慕大。

King Charles III to visit U.S. in late April, attend state dinner at the White House, Trump says

London— Britain’s King Charles III will make a state visit to the U.S. in late April, Buckingham Palace and President Trump announced Tuesday, confirming a trip that officials told CBS News earlier this month to expect in the coming weeks. The sources told CBS News that King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands would also visit Washington, staying at the White House, in June.
Charles’ visit “will celebrate the historic connections and the modern bilateral relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, marking the 250th anniversary “of American Independence,” Buckingham Palace said in its statement on Tuesday. The president said the trip will take place from April 27-30.
“Melania and I are pleased to announce that their majesties, the king and queen of the United Kingdom, will visit the United States for a historic state visit from April 27-30th, which will include a beautiful banquet dinner at the White House on the evening of April 28th,” Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This momentous occasion will be even more special this year, as we commemorate the 250th anniversary of our great country.”
It will be Charles’ first state visit to the U.S. as king, though he visited the U.S. 19 times before being crowned, when he was the Prince of Wales. His mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, made four state visits to the U.S., in 1957, 1976, 1991 and 2007, Buckingham Palace said.
Mr. Trump made a state visit to the U.K. in September, attending a lavish state dinner hosted by Charles and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle, which was also attended by Prince William and his wife, Catherine, the Princess of Wales.

The king’s visit to Washington will come at a tense time for U.S.-U.K. relations. Mr. Trump has been highly critical of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s reluctance to join the joint U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, though the U.K. is allowing the U.S. to use its bases for “defensive” operations.
It also comes amid controversy sparked by ‘s connection to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. King Charles stripped his younger brother, the former Prince Andrew, of his royal titles. Andrew was arrested last month for suspected misconduct in public office after revelations in the Epstein files.
Peter Mandelson, the U.K.’s former ambassador to Washington, was also arrested last month over suspicion of misconduct in public office in relation to his ties to Epstein.
After his visit to the U.S., Charles will continue on to visit Bermuda.
