Drivers on parts of the London Underground are set to strike on the day of Donald Trump's visit to the UK.
The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers said staff would stage a walkout over working conditions and staffing.
Drivers will strike from 9pm on 11 July until one minute past midnight on 14 July. The US president is expected to be in the country on 13 July.
Thousands of people are expected to protest against his visit, with a six-metre tall balloon of Mr Trump as a baby planned to be flown over the capital.
