DR Congo's army is trying to contain a rebellion in the east
A possible role for US military trainers in the Democratic Republic of Congo is expected to discussed at a meeting in the White House on Friday.
The military situation in DR Congo will be a key topic of discussion at talks between US President George W Bush and Congolese President Joseph Kabila.
US officials said Mr Kabila is due in the US with a large delegation.
The Congolese president is also expected to visit the headquarters of a big US mining company in Arizona.
The US sees DR Congo as an important ally in Africa.
A senior US diplomat, William Swing, has headed the big United Nations peacekeeping force there for several years, and the US has made large financial contributions to the UN force.
