Donald Trump is expected to visit Windsor Castle in September to meet with King Charles and the Royal Family, as the UK government seeks to strengthen transatlantic ties.
The US President and First Lady will make the high-profile visit following discussions between Sir Keir Starmer and Trump.
The trip comes as British officials are negotiating to remove the 10 per cent tariffs Trump placed on all trading partners earlier this month.
Sources have indicated that while no dates have been finalised, Trump has signalled his approval for the Windsor Castle venue.

The visit forms part of the UK's diplomatic efforts amid ongoing trade tensions with America.
Windsor Castle was chosen over the previously considered Scottish locations of Balmoral and Dumfries House.
In February, the King had extended a personal invitation for the Trumps to stay at one of his Scottish homes.
The castle holds special significance for Trump, who treasures memories of his 2018 visit with the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Trump reportedly preferred Windsor's grander setting for the official photographs.

During a White House photocall with Sir Keir in February, Trump publicly accepted the King's invitation.
"The answer is yes. We look forward to being there and honouring the King, honouring the country," he stated.
The President has also been offered a full state visit to the UK. The details of this more formal visit will be discussed during his time in Britain.
