Beneath King Charles\u2019s Jokes and Decorum, Some Subtle Rebuttals to Trump<\/a>\u201d, Shear and Kanno-Youngs say the king \u201cgently\u201d pushed back against Donald Trump\u2019s attacks on Britain and Nato and \u201cspoke of the importance of checks and balances\u201d.<\/p>\nThe coverage on the front page of the newspaper\u2019s print edition is more understated, with an image of Charles in Congress and the headline: \u201cBipartisan Welcome for a Sovereign\u201d.<\/p>\n

Online and on its print front page, the WashPo focuses on the arguably barbed moments of Charles\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n
\u201cKing Charles urges checks on executive power as Trump hosts royal visit,\u201d reads the paper\u2019s headline online, with a similar missive in print.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a speech to Congress, the monarch avoided naming the president but highlighted democratic norms, Ukraine and western unity,\u201d the publication says.<\/p>\n
\u201cKing Charles III urged Americans and Britons to draw on their shared heritage to defend democratic values, including checks on executive power, as he exhorted US lawmakers to address global problems collectively in an era of unusually sharp divisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Likewise, the LA Times focuses on the more pointed references in Charles\u2019s speech rather than the jokes and pleasantries he offered.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn US, Charles stresses climate, alliances,\u201d reads the headline on its print front page. \u201cPrince urges Congress to back Ukraine, Nato, says American words, actions matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tabloid New York Post has a more light-hearted, though not unprovocative, front page for its print edition, which features an image of Charles and Trump under the headline: \u201cKings of the Hill\u201d.<\/p>\n
The headline alludes to the criticism, into which Trump frequently leans, that the US president behaves more like an unelected head of state than a representative of all peoples. An anti-Trump movement known as the No Kings protest has staged demonstrations across the country.<\/p>\n
In fact, the White House X account earlier in the day posted an image of the two men with the words \u201cTwo Kings\u201d, no doubt an attempt to aggravate the president\u2019s detractors.<\/p>\n

In the UK, the papers are all heavily focused on the pointed references to the strained relations between the UK and US and some of the controversial aspects of Trump\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n
The Daily Telegraph has the headline \u201cKing defends Nato in historic Congress address\u201d as Trump continues his threats to pull the US out of Nato and his questioning of allies\u2019 commitment to the US over their refusal to become embroiled in the increasingly disastrous offensive in Iran.<\/p>\n

The i newspaper focuses on Charles\u2019s attempts to build bridges between the UK and US after a period of tumult.<\/p>\n
\u201cKing tells Congress: America and the UK must reconcile,\u201d the headline reads. Trump has insulted Keir Starmer, the British prime minister, as \u201cno Churchill\u201d and threatened the UK with trade tariffs.<\/p>\n

Likewise, under the headline \u201cKing and Trump forge a very special relationship\u201d, with an image of the two seated men laughing side by side in the Oval Office, the Times leads with Charles\u2019s efforts to heal relations between the two nations.<\/p>\n

The Mail hails the king\u2019s skills as a diplomat on its front page by giving a speech that was full of praise and celebration for the American people and their history, while subtly urging the US not to turn its back on allies.<\/p>\n
\u201cKing delivers a diplomatic masterclass and urges Trump not to abandon Nato,\u201d the newspaper front page headline states above an image of Charles in Congress and a separate picture of Melania Trump, the first lady, and Queen Camilla.<\/p>\n
