King Charles visits Canada to deliver throne speech amid Trump's annexation threats

King Charles III arrived Monday in Ottawa on a visit that Canada's leader says will underscore his nation's sovereignty amid U.S. President Trump's talk of the United States annexing its northern neighbor.

Mr. Trump's repeated suggestion that the U.S. annex Canada prompted Prime Minister Mark Carney to invite Charles to give the speech from the throne that will outline his government's agenda for the new Parliament.

The king is the head of state in Canada, which is a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.
