Newspaper headlines: Biden to ‘miss’ coronation and Sunak on trade deal

The Daily Telegraph splashes with “Biden to turn down coronation invitation”, reporting that the US president is not expected to attend the event that will see Charles crowned at Westminster Abbey on 6 May. The US wants to avoid giving any impression of a “snub”, the paper writes, and will instead send high-profile representatives. Citing sources close to discussions, the Telegraph says London and Washington have downplayed the story – saying attendance from Mr Biden was always “unlikely” but that the decision was not final.
