Cameron set for White House talks
David Cameron and Barack Obama will hold face-to-face talks on Afghanistan and the global economic crisis when the Prime Minister makes an official visit to the White House next month.
The president will host the Prime Minister and his wife, Samantha, to “highlight the fundamental importance of the US-UK special relationship”. The two leaders will also debate the situation in the Middle East and Iran’s nuclear ambitions during the 13-14 March trip.
The Camerons will attend a state dinner hosted by Mr Obama and First Lady Michelle, with the White House stressing the “strong personal bond” between the leaders and their families.
The visit comes after Downing Street said British troops would step back from their lead combat role in Afghanistan by the end of 2013, under plans drawn up by the Nato-led Isaf international. alliance.
