Moment Donald Trump and Theresa May HOLD HANDS before announcing renewal of ‘deep bond’ between the UK and US
President seen snatching Prime Minister's paw during landmark White House visit
THIS is the awkward moment Theresa May and Donald Trump HOLD HANDS before facing journalists at a landmark press conference.
The Prime Minister was guest of honour at the White House on Friday as she became the first foreign leader to visit President Trump since he took office last week.
Speaking to the world's media the leaders spoke of renewing the "very special bond" between the UK and the US after what Mrs May describes as Trump's "stunning election victory".
And symbolising this "special bond" was the moment that Trump broke protocol and held Theresa May's hand as they walked through the White House.
Trump was seen snatching for the PM's paw before ushering her through a set of doors.
Later Trump told reporters that he and Mrs May were going to have "a fantastic relationship" and vowed to help make Brexit a "fantastic thing for the United Kingdom".
"I am honoured to have Prime Minister Theresa May here fur our first official visit from a foreign leader" he told journalists.
During a joint-press conference, the President said that the special relationship between America and the UK had "never been stronger".
"Great days lie ahead," he added.
When asked by Sun man Tom Newton Dunn about what the pair had in common, Mrs May said: "We want to put the interests of ordinary working people at centre stage.
"It’s that interest in ensuring economies and government works for ordinary people.”
