President Trump said on Saturday that he still plans to go to London for a state visit, which was in doubt after British Prime Minister Theresa May’s conservatives lost a majority in parliament.
“I will be going to London,” Trump said in a pool report on a meeting between the president and May at the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany. A date for the visit is still be worked out, he added.
Trump said that he and May have developed a “very special” relationship. He said that they would have tremendous talks on a “very powerful deal” on trade “very, very quickly,” according to a pool report.
Trump and May first discussed a state visit during May’s visit to the White House earlier this year. However, no date had been set.
The White House announced last month that Trump will visit France for Bastille Day, July 14.
May faces mounting unpopularity in the United Kingdom. Her Conservative Party lost a majority in parliament after May decided to call a snap election last month.
