US President Donald Trump shakes hands with Britain's King Charles, as Trump departs Windsor Castle, in Windsor. (Reuters/File Photo) King Charles III will visit the US in late April, Buckingham Palace announced Tuesday, despite some calls for the trip to be cancelled or delayed amid strains over the Iran war.Confirmation of the monarch's first state visit to the US comes at a rocky time for the so-called US-UK "special relationship", with US President Donald Trump repeatedly criticising Prime Minister Keir Starmer's reticence over the US-Israel war against Tehran.But Trump, whose mother came from Scotland and is a big fan of the British monarchy, welcomed news of the visit as "TERRIFIC".The US leader posted on his Truth Social platform that the trip would take place on April 27-30 and include a "beautiful Banquet Dinner at the White House on the evening of April 28th"."I look forward to spending time with the King, whom I greatly respect. It will be TERRIFIC!" he added.The visit will come as the US marks its 250th anniversary of independence and will be followed by an official visit by the king to Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory.Washington's envoy to Britain, Warren Stephens, warned last week it would be a "big mistake" for the US visit to be cancelled.Trump has repeatedly railed against Starmer since the start of the war, accusing him of not doing enough to support the US."This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with," Trump said earlier this month, after Starmer initially declined to let US warplanes fly from UK bases to strike Iran."I'm disappointed with Keir," Trump has also said, slamming Starmer's "big mistake".Trump also caused offence with recent remarks about UK troops' participation in Afghanistan.The visit will be Charles's first trip to the US as king, after he hosted Trump for a lavish state visit last September.The mercurial US president has frequently expressed admiration for Britain's royal family, which treated him to a full state dinner at Windsor Castle, military parades and a flyover during last year's visit.— Soft power diplomacy —It was an unprecedented second state visit for Trump, who was also hosted in 2019 by the late queen Elizabeth II before her death.But in his latest broadside aimed at Starmer's government, Trump told countries like Britain to secure the Strait of Hormuz themselves because "the USA won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us".A YouGov poll published on Thursday found nearly half of British citizens opposed the king's visit to the US, with only a third saying it should go ahead.Emily Thornberry, a senior MP in Starmer's ruling Labour party, said earlier this month it would be "safer to delay" the trip.She warned Charles and Camilla could be left feeling "embarrassed" because of the ongoing conflict."Why are we rewarding Donald Trump with a state visit from our king?" asked Ed Davey, leader of the minority opposition Liberal Democrats party.The last British monarch to make a state visit to the US was Queen Elizabeth II in 2007.That visit was the last of four made by the late queen whose visit in 1991 included an address to Congress.The royal family's soft power diplomacy is viewed as an important way of engaging with Trump.Charles helped smooth Starmer's visit to the White House last year by signing a letter inviting Trump to visit the UK which the prime minister handed to the president in the Oval Office.In front of the TV cameras a beaming US president read the invitation and declared the king "a beautiful man, a wonderful man".

A satellite near-infrared image shows smoke rising from oil storage tanks at Russia's Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga, which was struck multiple times in Ukrainian attacks, in Ust-Luga, Russia. (Reuters) Ukrainian drones Tuesday struck Russia's Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga for the fifth time in 10 days, and industry sources told Reuters an oil loading terminal was hit, likely adding to Russia's difficulties in exporting crude.Kyiv has stepped up attacks on Russia's oil export infrastructure over the past month, launching its heaviest drone strikes of the more than four-year war against the Baltic ports of Ust-Luga and Primorsk.At least 40% of Russia's oil export capacity has been halted due to drone attacks, a disputed strike on a major pipeline and the seizure of tankers, according to Reuters calculations based on market data.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday that some of Kyiv's allies had sent "signals" about the possibility of scaling back its long-range strikes on Russia's oil sector as global energy prices have surged due to the Iran war.Regional governor Alexander Drozdenko said three people, including two children, were treated for injuries, and several buildings had been damaged in the overnight attacks.In a message on Telegram at 0409 GMT, he said air-raid alerts in the region had been lifted but gave no details on damage to the port.He later said that the aftermath of the attack on Ust-Luga had been "eliminated" or dealt with. He said the supply of hot water and heating to residential and other units in the region were restored.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the strikes "terrorist attacks," adding that Russia was working on protecting its critical infrastructure."This doesn't mean these facilities can be 100% protected from such terrorist attacks. However, intensive work is being carried out, and this applies not only to the port... but to all other critical infrastructure facilities," he told a daily conference call with reporters.Three industry sources told Reuters Ukrainian drones struck crude oil loading facilities operated by Russian pipeline monopoly Transneft in the latest attack. Transneft did not immediately reply to a request for comment.Ust-Luga, on the south-eastern shore of the Gulf of Finland, is a sprawling complex of oil-processing facilities and export terminals handling crude oil and oil products.According to source-based data, the port exported 32.9mn metric tonnes of oil products last year. It typically handles about 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day.Authorities say Ust-Luga was hit on March 22, 25, 27, 29 and 31, forcing suspensions of export operations. Related Story

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi announce their statements after their talks at the Akasaka guesthouse in Tokyo, Japan, Tuesday. (Reuters) Japan and Indonesia have agreed to step up coordination on energy security, Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said Tuesday, as the US-Israeli war on Iran squeezes oil and gas supplies vital to Asia."In light of the Iran situation, the strategic importance of resources and energy security is once again being recognised globally. Indonesia is a major resource-rich nation," Takaichi said alongside Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto after they met for talks in Tokyo.The summit comes amid mounting concern over the widening Middle East conflict, which has disrupted shipments of oil and gas through the key Strait of Hormuz.Indonesia is the world's biggest exporter of thermal coal for power generation, supplying about half of global exports. It is also a major liquefied natural gas exporter, with roughly a quarter of its shipments bound for Japan.Japan said on Friday it will allow utilities to increase the use of coal-fired power plants from next month to cushion any disruption to liquefied natural gas imports caused by the war in the Middle East.Japan has also opened up its oil stockpiles, rolled out gasoline subsidies and is seeking energy supplies beyond the Middle East.Japan and Indonesia would "make their best efforts to convince all parties (in the Middle East) to de-escalate" the conflict, Prabowo said. He also invited "Japan’s participation" in the Indonesian economy, including in critical minerals, rare earths, industrialisation and nuclear energy.Neither leader gave details of how the two countries would coordinate in economic security.
