Donald Trump plans new deal for Britain as Theresa May becomes first foreign leader to meet new president (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/21/donald-trump-plans-new-deal-britain-theresa-may-becomes-first/)
It looks like the US and the UK will be working pretty closely together.
Donald Trump is planning a new deal for Britain this week asTheresa May becomes the first foreign leader to meet him (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/20/revealed-theresa-may-set-fly-next-week-meet-donald-trump/)since the inauguration.
With hundreds of thousands of people across the world protesting his presidency, Mr Trump’s team was working with Number 10 to finalise plans for White House talks.
Mr Trump has even taken to calling Mrs May “my Maggie” in reference to the close Thatcher-Reagan relationship he wants to recreate, according to sources.
The historic trip comes as:
A deal to reduce barriers between American and British banks through a new “passporting” system was being considered by Mr Trump’s team
A US-UK “working group” was being prepared to identify barriers to trade and scope out a future trade deal
A joint statement on defence was expected to demand EU countries spend 2 per cent of GDP on defence and promise collaboration in tackling Isil
The new relationship - which comes with both countries redefining their roles in the world - is due to be cemented with a state visit for Mr Trump in the summer.
