It comes as the President of the United States arrives in London for a three-day state visit. He and his wife Michelle will stay at Buckingham Palace as guests of the Queen.

This afternoon the Prime Minister and his wife Samantha will host a barbecue in the Downing Street garden for the President and First Lady.

In a joint newspaper article today the two leaders point to the close relationship between the two countries, and say it is vital not just for Britain and America, but also the rest of the world.

The two men say: “When the United States and Britain stand together, our people and people around the world can become more secure and more prosperous.
