President Donald Trump has predicted a “tremendous increase” in UK-US trade, after talks with Theresa May.
He also said the US and UK were “joined at the hip” on military matters, while Mrs May said they stood “shoulder to shoulder” in facing shared threats.
In a series of warm exchanges in Davos, Switzerland, President Trump also told the UK PM: “We love your country.”
He also rejected “false rumours” of differences, saying that the two leaders “like each other a lot”.
And Downing Street said later that they had asked officials to work on “finalising the details of a visit by the president to the UK later this year”. […]
The two leaders met in Davos, at the World Economic Forum, with post-Brexit trade relations between the two countries high on the agenda.
Mr Trump said: “One thing that will be taking place over a number of years will be trade. Trade is going to increase many times.
“I look forward to that… the discussions… that will be taking place are going to lead to tremendous increases in trade between our two countries which is great for both in terms of jobs. We look forward to that and we are starting that process, pretty much as we speak.”
He added the US would be “there to fight for you – you know that” and the two were “joined at the hip when it comes to the military”.
