Donald Trump Explains ‘Nasty’ Meghan Markle Comments, But Basically Calls Her ‘Nasty’ Again
Asked if the meeting was awkward, Trump said: “No, no, no, just the opposite. In fact, he spent a lot of time talking to Ivanka and talking to my family. I went up – he couldn’t have been nicer. Couldn’t have been nicer… I think he’s great.”
The president also appeared to backtrack on comments he made during a press conference with Theresa May in which he said the NHS will be “on the table” in talks on a UK-US trade deal after Brexit.
He said: “I don’t see it being on the table.
“Somebody asked me a question today and I say everything is up for negotiation, because everything is. But I don’t see that as being, that something that I would not consider part of trade. That’s not trade.”
The president is expected to meet Jeremy Hunt and Michael Gove on Wednesday morning, before his first official engagement in Portsmouth at 11.00am to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day in June 1944.
