Buckingham Palace said it is reviewing whether a shooting in the United States could affect King Charles III’s upcoming visit.

A palace spokesperson, referring to the shooting during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on April 26 (local time), said officials will discuss with U.S. counterparts “the extent to which this incident will affect the schedule for this visit,” Yonhap News Agency reported.

The spokesperson said Charles expressed relief after hearing that President Donald Trump and his wife, along with other attendees, were safe.

Charles is scheduled to make a four-day state visit to the United States starting April 27 at Trump’s invitation, tied to events marking the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.
