HAMBURG — Ahead of his meeting with Prime Minister Theresa May on Saturday morning, President Trump confirmed that he will travel to London this year and he said the United States and the United Kingdom would ink a new trade deal soon.

Trump said that he and May had developed a “very special” relationship. And as Britain prepares to leave the European Union, Trump promised that “a very powerful deal” on trade would be reached “very very quickly” as a result of their talks.

"I think trade will be a very big factor between our two countries," Trump added.

Trump and May sat down for an official bilateral session on the second day of the G-20 summit, amid high stakes talks with several world leaders.
