The US president and his wife, Michelle, will make a three-day trip ahead of the G8 summit of world leaders in France that he is expected to attend.

The announcement of the visit, from 24-26 May, was made simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic by the palace and the White House.

Downing Street said: "We are very pleased that this visit is taking place. It is a sign of the strong and enduring relationship between our two countries."
