Trump praised May at a business round table at St. Jame's Palace and predicted a "very substantial trade deal" between the U.S. and the U.K., The New York Times reported.
Speaking to May at the meeting, the president said, “I don’t know exactly what your timing is, but stick around, let’s do this deal.”
The leaders discussed a possible bilateral trade deal to take effect once the U.K. leaves the European Union and Britain's decision about whether Chinese telecoms firm Huawei can work on parts of the country's new 5G wireless communications network. The U.S. wants allies to exclude Huawei from all 5G networks over fears it could let the Chinese government gain access to data.

.@SadiqKhan, who by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London, has been foolishly “nasty” to the visiting President of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom. He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me......

....Kahn reminds me very much of our very dumb and incompetent Mayor of NYC, de Blasio, who has also done a terrible job - only half his height. In any event, I look forward to being a great friend to the United Kingdom, and am looking very much forward to my visit. Landing now!

The trip marks Trump's first official state visit to the U.K. Although he met with Queen Elizabeth II last summer, that trip was considered a "working visit," CNN reported. In contrast, state visits usually feature "royal pomp," according to The Associated Press.
Trump and his wife, first lady Melania Trump, are expected to have lunch with the queen Monday, CBS News reported. The agenda also includes "a grand welcoming ceremony at Buckingham Palace"; tea with Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; and a state banquet, The Associated Press reported.
Although Prince William and his wife, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, are expected to attend Monday's banquet, Prince Harry's wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is not, the BBC reported. The new mom just gave birth to a son, Archie, last month and is on maternity leave.
During his visit, Trump also is scheduled to attend "D-Day commemoration ceremonies on both sides of the English Channel," the AP reported.
Trump's visit already is causing controversy in Britain. Minutes before he landed in London, Trump slammed London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Twitter, calling him "a stone cold loser."
.@SadiqKhan, who by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London, has been foolishly “nasty” to the visiting President of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom. He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me......

Trump also made headlines last week over remarks he made to the Sun, a British tabloid, about the Duchess of Sussex, formerly known as Meghan Markle. After a reporter told Trump that Markle had criticized him in the past, Trump replied: "I didn't know that she was nasty," the outlet reported.
Trump denied making the comment, even though the Sun posted audio of the interview.
I never called Meghan Markle “nasty.” Made up by the Fake News Media, and they got caught cold! Will @CNN, @nytimes and others apologize? Doubt it!
