John Kerry to visit London

John Kerry will become the first senior American official to visit London since the EU referendum on Monday.

The Secretary of State will meet Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond to discuss the fallout from Thursday`s vote to leave the union.

It comes after he urged Britain and the European Union to manage their "divorce" responsibly for the sake of global markets and citizens.

After leaving Rome on Monday, Mr Kerry will fly to Brussels to meet EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini before travelling to London.

He is expected to echo last week`s immediate US response, which focused on the unchanged nature of the allies` "special relationship".
