Rishi Sunak is preparing to woo Joe Biden over trade and military cooperation in talks at the White House today.
The PM will meet the US president in the Oval Office on his first visit to Washington, with economic issues and Ukraine high on the agenda.
Mr Sunak has put a lot of effort into improving Transatlantic ties, with the Special Relationship seen as having been battered by rows over Norther Ireland Brexit rules.
However, there still appears to be no immediate prospect of a trade deal - which was very much on the cards when Donald Trump was commander-in-chief.
Former UK ambassador to the US Lord Darroch has voiced concerns that 'for all the inevitable smiles and pats on the back' there 'doesn't look to be much real warmth in the Anglo-American relationship'.
A poll for MailOnline shows that Brits regard Mr Biden as more pro-EU than pro-UK, although he is also rated more favourably than his predecessor.
