US President Donald Trump has assured Theresa May that “we love your country” as the pair met at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Mr Trump said he wanted to correct a “false rumour” of a trans-Atlantic rift – sparked by their earlier spat over his retweeting of videos by far-right group Britain First and his decision not to visit London for the opening of the new US embassy.

Piers Morgan interview with Donald Trump to air on Sunday

Shaking hands with Mrs May before the cameras at the Swiss ski resort, Mr Trump said that they would “talk about” his mooted state visit to the UK. But neither he nor the Prime Minister gave any clue when it might take place.

Ahead of their meeting, the PM said Mr Trump would visit the UK “in due course”.

On BBC News, she went on: “That relationship between the UK and America is strong as it ever has been.

“What I want to be talking to the president about and will be talking to him about is a whole range of foreign policy areas where we face shared challenges and are working together.

“So, whether it’s working together in relation to North Korea to stop them from their illegal activity in relation to ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons, whether it’s working together in Syria and Iraq where great strides have been made in relation to dealing with Daesh (Islamic State), or whether it’s working together to reduce the destabilising activities of Iran in the region.

“Free trade is a topic that I have discussed with the president in the past, we’re very keen that we’ll be able to do that free trade agreement when we leave the European Union with the United States of America – they’re keen on that, we’re keen on that and we’re already working on how we can shape that.”
