LONDON—U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he looked forward to finalizing a post-Brexit trade deal with Britain, saying that Prime Minister Theresa May was doing a “fantastic job.”

“Once the Brexit process is concluded and perhaps the UK has left the EU, I don’t know what they’re going to do but whatever you do is OK with me, that’s your decision,” Trump told a press conference with May in the garden of her official country residence Chequers.
