Trump in UK: U.S. President Returns to UK, Gets Royal Welcome

<p>British Prime Minister Theresa May will call on <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/donald-trump-calls-queen-elizabeth-a-great-great-woman-at-state-banquet-224027">US&nbsp;President Donald Trump</a> to deepen transatlantic economic cooperation on Tuesday, saying a bilateral trade deal could make their partnership "greater still".</p>

<p>Despite hosting Trump in the dying days of her premiership after her failure to deliver Brexit on time forced her to resign, May will also distance herself from the US&nbsp;leader on trade by championing "free, fair and open" markets.</p>

<p>At a meeting with 10 British and US&nbsp;businesses at St James' Palace, the Queen's official residence, May will tell companies such as defence contractor BAE Systems and pharmaceuticals giant GlaxoSmithKline that greater cooperation would boost the two countries' economic partnership.</p>

<p>"It is a great partnership, but one I believe we can make greater still," she will say, according to advance extracts from her office.</p>

<p>"With a bilateral free trade agreement, with broader economic co-operation, and by continuing to work together to underpin, shape and influence the global economy and its rules and institutions - keeping markets free, fair and open, and keeping our industries competitive."</p>

<p>The discussions, which will also involve senior representatives from the National Grid, Barclays, consumer goods maker Reckitt Benckiser, JP Morgan, Lockheed Martin, Goldman Sachs International, construction company Bechtel and cybersecurity and data analytics firm Splunk, are expected to focus on research and development and on infrastructure investment.</p>

<p>The United States is by far Britain's biggest single trading partner, and for decades, the two shared a desire to open up world markets to free trade. But Trump has shaken trade and markets by putting tariffs on goods from the European Union, Canada, Mexico and China.</p>

Thousands protesting against Donald Trump's UK state visit

<p>US President Donald Trump arrives in Britain on Monday for a state visit laden with diplomatic peril, after taking a dig at <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-tells-uk-to-walk-away-if-eu-does-not-give-what-it-wants-in-brexit-report-223648">outgoing Prime Minister Theresa</a> May over Brexit and demanding she be tougher in dealing with China's Huawei.</p>

<p>Trump and his wife, Melania, will be treated to a display of British royal pageantry during the June 3-5 visit: lunch with Queen Elizabeth, tea with heir Prince Charles, a banquet at Buckingham Palace and a tour of Westminster Abbey, coronation church of English monarchs for 1,000 years.</p>

<p>Beyond the pomp, though, the US president also brings demands: He has praised a more radical Brexit-supporting potential successor to May and his envoys have urged a tougher British stance towards Chinese telecoms giant Huawei.</p>

<p>"So we will be going to the UK, I think it will be very important, it certainly will be very interesting, there's lot going on in the UK, and I am sure it is going to work out very well for them," Trump told reporters before departing.</p>

<p>"As you know they want to do trade with the United States, and I think there is an opportunity for a very big trade deal at some point in the near future. And we will see how that works out."</p>

<p>Trump was asked about reports that he had cast Meghan Markle, wife of Prince Harry, as "nasty" for criticising him.</p>

<p>"No, I made no bad comment," Trump told reporters. On Twitter he said: "I never called Meghan Markle "nasty." Made up by the Fake News Media, and they got caught cold!"</p>

<p>"If they don't get what they want, I would walk away. If you don't get a fair deal, you walk away."</p>

<p>Trump repeated his backing for those candidates to succeed May who have said Britain must leave on the due date of October 31 with or without a deal.</p>

<p>Those candidates include former foreign secretary Boris Johnson, whom Trump praised in an interview with the Sun newspaper on Friday, along with former Brexit minister Dominic Raab and interior minister Sajid Javid.</p>

<p>A meeting with either Johnson, favourite to succeed May, or Farage, a populist anti-establishment campaigner, would be seen as a snub for May who is bowing out after failing to negotiate a Brexit deal that parliament could ratify.</p>

<p>On his last visit to the United Kingdom, in July last year, Trump shocked Britain's political establishment by hammering May's Brexit negotiation for being too weak with the EU and by praising rival Johnson as a "great" potential prime minister.</p>

<p>At a meeting with May, Trump will warn Britain that security cooperation could be hurt if London allows China's Huawei a role in building parts of the 5G network, the next generation of cellular technology.</p>

<p>The Trump administration has told allies not to use its 5G technology and equipment because of fears it would allow China to spy on sensitive communications and data. Huawei denies it is, or could be, a vehicle for Chinese intelligence.</p>

<p>US&nbsp;Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Britain last month it needed to change its attitude towards China and Huawei, casting the world's second largest economy as a threat to the West similar to that once posed by the Soviet Union.</p>
