King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in Rome this afternoon for the start of a four-day state visit to Italy.
The visit’s timing coincides with global concerns about those Trump tariffs.
Italy is the world’s second biggest exporter of olive oil, and the US is its second biggest customer for it.
It’s hoped the Royal couple’s "soft power" can strengthen the UK’s ties with Italy.
ITV News’ Royal Editor Chris Ship is with the royals in Rome.
