STORYLINE
British Prime Minister David Cameron began his first official visit to the United States on Tuesday amid anger over BP's spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Cameron arrived overnight in Washington DC and went straight to the British embassy.
Later in the day, Cameron and US President Barack Obama will discuss a host of pressing issues.
Chief among them will be Afghanistan.
Britain has been the most crucial US military partner in Afghanistan but is facing inevitable budget cuts and the unpopularity of the war.
Cameron has said he wants the country's 10,000 troops out by the time of Britain's next election, which must be held by 2015.
The leaders also are likely to discuss stalled Middle East peace prospects and the global economy.
But while both sides are playing down the BP issues, they are acknowledging it is likely to come up.
Cameron also is expected to come under questioning on the issue in meetings with lawmakers, including leaders of the House of Representatives and Senate.
