King Charles paid a brief visit to Canada on Tuesday, expressing his strong support for the country as it faces annexation threats and tariffs from US President Donald Trump.
Charles commended Canada as "strong and free" and underlined its ideals and global leadership during the first speech by a British monarch in nearly 70 years at the opening of Parliament, according to Reuters.
The King, who is undergoing cancer treatment, was accompanied by Queen Camilla and wore the Order of Canada. The visit lasted fewer than 24 hours.
