| The prime minister described the link with the US as the UK's "most important bilateral relationship" ahead of his first talks with President George Bush.
A foreign office minister had suggested the two countries would no longer be "joined at the hip" on foreign policy.
Mr Brown arrived at Andrews air force base near Washington on Sunday night.
International issues
The talks at Camp David on Monday are expected to include UK Foreign Secretary David Milliband and US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
They are expected to discuss international issues such as Iraq, Afghanistan, the Middle East, Darfur, Kosovo, world trade and climate change.
Analysts will be looking for signs of the Brown regime distancing itself from the US during the trip.
Private dinner
BBC political editor Nick Robinson said Mr Brown was "walking a tightrope" in his dealings with America.
He needed to reassure Mr Bush of his commitment to the Atlantic relationship as well as convince British voters that links between the US and the UK would be different to those maintained by former prime minister Tony Blair, our correspondent said.
The prime minister flew to Camp David for a private dinner with the president on Sunday night at his Maryland retreat.
He will then head to Washington on Monday for cross-party talks with senate leaders and members of congress.
Earlier this month, Foreign Office Minister Lord Malloch Brown said it was time for a more "impartial" foreign policy and for Britain to build relationships with European leaders
