Among other things, they will discuss transatlantic travel and President Biden will tell Mr Johnson that Brexit negotiations must not affect peace in Northern Ireland.

It will be their first face-to-face meeting after President Biden took office during the pandemic.

The two leaders and their wives also admired the view overlooking Carbis Bay, with Mr Biden saying: "It's gorgeous. I don't want to go home."
