Britain’s May optimistic on Trump visit, UK-US trade deal
HAMBURG — British Prime Minister Theresa May said Saturday that she’s looking forward to welcoming U.S. President Donald Trump to London, but both sides still are working to find a “suitable date.”
May also said she was optimistic about hoped-for future trade pacts with the U.S. and other countries after meeting Trump at the Group of 20 summit.
Trump said a deal between the U.S. and Britain, which is leaving the European Union, would be “great for both countries” and can be achieved quickly.
Trump also squashed speculation that he would not be visiting London after all, saying that “we’ll work that out” and he will be making the trip.
