as posted by the channelDame Emily Thornberry has said she is “anxious" ahead of King Charles’ state visit to the United States.
Speaking to the Today programme, the chair of the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Select Committee says the monarch’s visit is a “high wire act” because President Trump is “unpredictable”.
