As King Charles arrives in Washington, fears are growing over whether Donald Trump could shift US policy on the Falklands and back Argentina’s claim. Andrew Marr examines the diplomatic risks with Victoria Coates, former Deputy National Security Advisor to Trump in his first term, and Vice-Admiral Duncan Potts, former Assistant Chief of Naval Staff and Controller of the Navy from 2013 to 2014, who has previously been deployed to the Falkland Islands.
