Speaking to Sky News, US ambassador Woody Johnson rejects suggestions that the trip is a waste of time and taxpayers' money.
However, mass demonstrations against Mr Trump and some of his policies are likely.
"I think the president is not going to be intimidated or influenced by demonstrations if there are any," Mr Johnson said when asked about the prospect of widespread protests. "My own view is that the relationship between our two countries is very important for both of us, so having the president here is very beneficial for the British people and everything that our relationship represents, which is all positives."Rest assured, this country is very important to the president. His mother was born here, so he wants to keep you as allies and keep that relationship alive, well and prospering and growing.
Such occasions often include the visiting head of state addressing both Houses of Parliament, but Commons Speaker John Bercow said in 2017 that Mr Trump should not be allowed to make a formal address.Lord Fowler, Mr Bercow's counterpart in the House of Lords,When asked if Mr Trump should be allowed to address Parliament, Mr Johnson sidestepped the issue."I think he's going to work on broader issues in terms of the relationship, the security and prosperity of our two nations.
"He's going to be here, he's devoting three days to being over here, that's a major time commitment. But I think it's an important one."
