GB News host Ben Leo issued a major update on King Charles’s visit to the US and it’s bad news for Donald Trump. The US Chief correspondent suggested the monarch’s plans to travel overseas may be cancelled following the fallout from the Iran conflict.

“He would have one day the King and Queen Camilla having a state banquet and they were scheduled for another trip to New York City.”

With the visit expected to coincide with celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, concerns have been raised the monarch’s US visit could risk becoming embroiled in a deepening political dispute amid the Iran conflict.
