Mr Johnson, a philanthropist and heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical empire, is a friend of Mr Trump but served as campaign treasurer to his bitter rival Jeb Bush in the Republican primaries.
After the Bush campaign ran aground, Mr Johnson, 69, eventually switched his allegiance to Mr Trump last May.
Mr Johnson is likely to become a key figure in any joint initiative by Downing Street and Trump’s White House to strengthen post-Brexit ties and possibly agree a new US-UK trade deal.
