London: Afghanistan and Libya are expected to feature prominently when US President Barack Obama and David Cameron meet for talks at Downing Street later. As the focus of his state visit shifts to politics, Obama will also address MPs and peers in Westminster Hall.
He and the PM are also due to drop in on a barbecue hosted by their wives for families of military personnel involved in joint UK-US missions overseas.
On Tuesday, Obama praised the solidarity the UK had shown the US.
He was speaking at a banquet, in honour of his three-day visit, hosted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
He and wife Michelle also laid a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey and met the newly married Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
At the evening banquet, the Queen gave a toast to what she called the “tried, tested and, yes, special relationship between our two nations”.
She said: “I firmly believe that the strength of our links and many shared interests will continue to ensure that, when the US and the UK stand together, our people and other people of goodwill around the world will be more secure and can become more prosperous.”
