The royal couple arrived shortly after 7 p.m. under light rain and were received by President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a formal dinner and overnight stay. The meeting, though not a state visit, carries diplomatic weight as both countries seek closer cooperation on trade, defence and security.
The visit comes during a wider phase of European engagement with Washington, ahead of a planned UK royal visit later in April. Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten, 38, joined the dinner and official photos, signalling a pragmatic approach despite his earlier criticism of Trump.
