Mr. Mamdani was asked what he would say to the King, who visited New York City on the second day of his State Visit to the U.S. King Charles addressed a joint meeting of the U.S. Congress on Tuesday (April 28, 2026), as he and Queen Camilla were honoured at a state dinner hosted by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump in the White House.
