Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is also to attend the D-Day commemorations.

Britain’s King Charles III, who continues to be treated for cancer, also plans to travel to France for the British ceremonies, while skipping the international ceremony. The Prince of Wales will instead stand in for the king at Omaha Beach.
