What to expect from Trump’s July 13 visit to Britain

Perhaps alarmed that French President Emmanuel Macron’s bromance with President Trump might displace the U.S.-U.K. special relationship, Britain has just announced that Trump will travel to London on July 13 to meet Prime Minister Theresa May.

What should we expect from the visit? Trump and May will have two key priorities.

It has been noticed globally that Trump has yet to visit the U.K. more than a year into his presidency, so this visit needed to happen as soon as possible.
