An Oval Office meeting between Barack Obama and Prince William is due to take place on Monday.
The White House has announced that the Duke of Cambridge will visit the White House during a three-day trip to the eastern United States and the BBC reported that he was also expected to give a speech on combating illegal wildlife trafficking at the World Bank.
In February, Princes Charles and Prince William attended an international conference held in London where a declaration was signed on fighting the illegal trade in wildlife.
The White House press secretary said: "The president welcomes the Prince's work in this global fight against what is both a national security threat and a devastating environmental problem.
"This visit underscores the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom."
While the Prince is attending events in Washington, the Duchess of Cambridge will be in New York to visit a child development centre.
