Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May are finalising the details of the first visit by the US president to Britain later this year after a meeting in Davos.
The two leaders met at the World Economic Forum on Thursday and they discussed Brexit, Iran, and worries that jobs could lost at Canadian plane-maker Bombardier's factory in Northern Ireland due to a trade dispute with Boeing Co.
"The PM and president concluded by asking officials to work together on finalising the details of a visit by the president to the UK later this year," according to statement from May's office.
More than a year into his presidency, Trump has yet to visit London and many British voters have promised that if he comes to Britain they would protest against a man they see as opposed to their values on a range of issues.
Earlier this month, Trump cancelled a trip to London to open a new US embassy in another sign of strained relations with one of the closest US allies.
May was the first foreign leader to visit Trump after his inauguration last January and was filmed emerging from the White House holding hands, but a series of disagreement have since occurred.
British officials have been dismayed by some of Trump's pronouncements, particularly a proposed ban on Muslims entering the United States and most recently when Trump rebuked May on Twitter after she criticised him for re-tweeting British far-right anti-Islam videos.
