US President Donald Trump is planning to meet with British Prime Minister Theresa May and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, in his first meetings with foreign leaders.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer announced the meetings at a briefing on Saturday evening.
Trump will meet with May in Washington on Friday. She will be the first foreign leader to meet the new president after his inauguration.
A post-Brexit free trade deal is thought likely to be high on her agenda as she travels to the US for talks.
The meeting will be an opportunity to discuss what has long been termed the "special relationship" between the two nations, a central pillar of Britain's foreign policy.
Trump, who endorsed the British vote to leave the European Union, has said he wants to arrange a swift bilateral trade deal with the United Kingdom.
Trade will also be part of the agenda for Trump's meeting with President Pena Nieto along with immigration and security, Spicer told reporters. The leaders spoke by phone on Saturday and discussed meeting on January 31, he said.
Trump has said he wants to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, signed in 1994 with Canada and Mexico, in order to improve terms for US workers.
Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also spoke by phone on Saturday and discussed setting up "additional meetings in the days to come," Spicer said.
