For her part May, in a Facebook post published before Trump's arrival in the United Kingdom and his Sun interview, insisted that "we are having good discussions with countries we would aim to sign trade deals with, including the USA, as I will discuss with President Trump when he arrives in the United Kingdom on Thursday".

The White House quickly sent out a statement in the wake of the interview, playing up ties between May and Trump.

Trump also claimed Khan - with whom he has clashed in the past - has "done a very bad job on terrorism".

May had aimed to leverage the prize of a future trade deal with the United States in an effort gain support for her post-Brexit plans. "It's also about giving a boost to those in America resisting his policies", said Daniel Jones, 26, who wore a red boiler suit and baseball cap emblazoned with "TRUMP BABYSITTER".

In the interview, Trump described Johnson as "a very talented guy", adding: "I like him a lot".

He also told the tabloid that he'd shared advice with May during Britain's negotiations with the European Union and she ignored it.

"As he said in his interview with the Sun she "is a very good person" and he 'never said anything bad about her.' He thought she was great on North Atlantic Treaty Organisation today and is a really terrific person", Sanders wrote. That is fake news.

With considerable optimism, Treasury chief Philip Hammond said May was looking forward to her talks with the president.

In that interview, Trump said that May's new, softer approach to Brexit-which would leave Britain sticking to a "common rulebook" with Brussels on goods-would kill off the chances of a highly sought U.S. -U.K. trade deal.
