Addressing a joint press conference, outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May also resounded Trump's sentiments and added that the UK is "committed to a trade deal with the United States". Trump said everything is on the table in UK trade talks.

Earlier in the day, Trump touted a "very, very substantial trade deal" between the United States and Britain after Brexit. He met May at her Downing Street residence, earlier in the day, as part of his state visit to Britain.

"I think we will have a very very substantial trade deal. It will be a very fair deal," he told her at a meeting with business leaders and ministers, adding, "We're going to get it done."

The US President also slipped out his intentions with respect to neighbouring Mexico stating that the "US will most likely impose tariffs on Mexico". 

On Brexit, Trump said that he thinks that it will happen and "it probably should happen". 

"I would think it will happen and it probably should happen. This is a great, great country and it wants its own identity, it wants to have its own borders, it wants to run its own affairs. This is a very, very special place," he said. 

On Huawei, Trump said that there is going to be an agreement on the same.

"We are going to have absolutely an agreement on Huawei and everything else. We have an incredible intelligence relationship and we are going to be able to work out any differences. We did discuss it. I see absolutely no limitations, we have never (had) limitations, this is a truly great ally and partner and we will have no problem with that," news agency Reuters reported. 

Trump's UK visit is marred by protests. Protesters shouted, banged drums and waved placards at what organisers called a "Carnival of Resistance" at Trafalgar Square.
