A Donald Trump fundraiser in London, where his eldest son will be the star guest, has already clocked up $2m (£1.57m) in donations before it takes place on Wednesday, according to organisers.
The event is being hosted by the actor and singer Holly Valance, who has become an increasingly influential figure on Britain's radical right since meeting the former president in the US in the company of Nigel Farage.
Farage will take a break from campaigning in the general election to attend the event along with American Republicans, including people who served in the last Trump White House and some tipped for roles if he wins again.
They include Richard Grenell - a former acting director of US national intelligence who served as the US ambassador to Germany - who has been playing a role as a roving international envoy for Trump.
The event is billed as a reception and dinner with Donald Trump Jr and his fiancee, Kimberly Guilfoyle, a lawyer and former Fox News host.
Other hosts include Woody Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets NFL team who was Trump's ambassador to the UK, along with George Glass, the US ambassador to Portugal under Trump, and Duke Buchan, his ambassador to Spain.
Scott Bessent, a prominent Trump fundraiser who is tipped as a potential treasury secretary, is also expected to attend.
