King Charles addressed a joint session of Congress, warning the world is growing more volatile and dangerous. He highlighted NATO's importance and urged "unyielding resolve" for Ukraine's defence to secure lasting peace, earning bipartisan standing ovations. It marked the first address to Congress by a British monarch in 35 years, the last being his mother Queen Elizabeth II in 1991.
