The White House has requested £65bn from the US Congress, a move that comes just hours after a heated lunch meeting between US President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers descended into a shouting match.
According to reports, the £65bn request is part of a larger spending package aimed at addressing the US's ballooning national debt and funding key infrastructure projects.
The request has sparked divisions within the Republican Party, with some lawmakers expressing concerns over the potential impact on the US economy and the national debt.
US President Trump has faced criticism from both Democrats and Republicans over his handling of the US economy, with many accusing him of exacerbating the national debt through his tax cuts and spending policies.
The UK Government has yet to comment on the White House's request, but the move is likely to be closely watched by British businesses and investors with interests in the US.
The Foreign Office has not issued any specific travel advice for UK citizens visiting the US, but the situation is likely to be closely monitored by the British Government.
