The President of the United States and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom will host a joint press conference at May’s Chequers Court residence at 1.45pm London time.
Their meeting comes following Trump’s criticism of the Brexit white paper released by May’s government yesterday, which detailed its plans for post-Brexit relations between the UK and European Union.
In an interview with The Sun, Trump claimed that May was failing to deliver on Brexit and going against the demands of voters. The president stated that the prime minister’s Brexit plans could stop the US from agreeing a trade deal with the UK.
Trump and May will discuss foreign policy ahead of the press conference. Trump will then travel to Windsor Castle for tea with the Queen.
