The world leaders shook hands after the US president told Mrs May directly: “There’s nothing that would happen to you that we won’t be there to fight for you. You know that,” adding that the UK and US were “joint at the hip” in their military cooperation.
During a joint photocall, the US president promised US-UK trade would “increase many times” after Brexit.
Donald Trump said: “It’s great to see you. One thing that will be taking place over a number of years will be trade.
“Trade is going to increase many times and we look forward to that.
“The trade concepts and discussions really, I think I can say most importantly, will be taking place, are going to lead to tremendous increases in trade between our two countries which is great for both in terms of jobs.
“We look forward to that and we are starting that process pretty much as we speak.”
In response, Theresa May vowed Britain and the US would “stand shoulder to shoulder”.
The prime minister said: “As you say, we’ve had a great discussion today. We continue to have that really special relationship between the UK and the US.
“Standing shoulder to shoulder because we’re facing the same challenges across the world and, as you say, we’re working together to defeat those challenges and to meet them.
