POTUS Tells British PM Theresa May to ‘Stick Around’ for Trade Deal
President Trump tells British Prime Minister Theresa May to "stick around" to reach a trade deal, during his official state visit to the United Kingdom.
President Trump urges British Prime Minister Theresa May to “stick around” so the pair can reach a trade deal despite her recent announcement to step down amid Brexit turmoil.
The president made the remarks during a roundtable Tuesday saying, “I don’t know what your timetable is, but… stick around, let’s do this deal.”
President Trump continued by saying he believes the United Kingdom could take part in a “substantial” trade deal with the United States.
His remarks come just days before May will step down as Tory Leader after failing to reach a deal on Brexit.
The president and May took part in talks regarding trade, defense, and other topics before participating in a joint press conference.
