"King Charles will be spared the potential humiliation of being upbraided in public by Donald Trump this week after the White House agreed that any meeting between the two men should be held off camera."
"Ministers have pinned great hopes on the state visit, which they are hoping will help repair the relationship between the two countries at one of its most difficult periods in decades."
"Diplomatic sources suggested that Cooper, who has previously travelled with the monarch to the Vatican, was ready to step in to deal with any awkward moments if required."
King Charles's upcoming meeting with Donald Trump will be held off camera to prevent potential public embarrassment. British officials are concerned about a repeat of past incidents where Trump criticized foreign leaders publicly. The state visit is seen as an opportunity to mend UK-US relations during a challenging time. King Charles will participate in several events with Trump, with foreign secretary Yvette Cooper present to manage any awkward situations. The government hopes the king can help mitigate Trump's aggressive rhetoric towards the UK.
