The visit comes at a sensitive time, with tensions over the Iran war affecting global relations. Despite this, the trip is aimed at strengthening diplomatic ties and celebrating shared history.
Buckingham Palace says the visit will focus on reinforcing both historic connections and modern cooperation between the UK and the US.
 Wider Context
The trip coincides with the 250th anniversary of American independence, which is expected to be a central theme of the visit.
It also follows recent exchanges between Trump and UK leaders, as well as ongoing political debate in Britain over whether the visit should proceed.
