US President Donald Trump and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will come face-to-face for the first time since that fiery January phone call rocked the allies' relationship.

Mr Trump will host Mr Turnbull next week on the USS Intrepid, the decommissioned World War II aircraft carrier that is the centrepiece of Manhattan's Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.

The May 4 event will be held to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea.

Mr Turnbull said he was "delighted" to be meeting with Mr Trump and attending the Battle of the Coral Sea commemorations in New York.

US Vice President Mike Pence, on his recent Australian tour, and other Trump administration officials have worked to soothe the relationship after the January 28 phone call abruptly ended when Mr Trump told Mr Turnbull it was "the worst call by far" on a day of conversations he had with world leaders.
