President Donald Trump’s UK trip went from pomp and pageantry to politics on June 4 as he met with outgoing British Prime Minister Theresa May in London to discuss a bilateral trade deal to go into effect after the UK leaves the European Union.

Although Trump has criticized May in the past, he praised the trading relationship between the two countries on the second day of his state visit, as the leaders held a joint news conference near the prime minister’s Downing Street office. May is due to step down on June 7.
