DONALD Trump today heaped praise on Theresa May but urged her to make sure her Brexit deal lets Britain strike a trade agreement with the US - saying, "That's all that matters."

Standing next to the Prime Minister at a press conference at Chequers, the President shifted his stance from that in The Sun's world exclusive interview where he warned a softer Brexit would 'probably kill' a US trade deal.

But he echoed the sentiment, saying: "Once the Brexit process is concluded and perhaps the UK has left the EU - I don't know what you're going to do, but whatever you're going to do is OK with me - just make sure you can trade with us, that's all that matters."

And asked to rate the strength of the Special Relationship, Mr Trump replied: "I give our relationship with the UK, in terms of a grade, the highest level of special."

Repeatedly speaking in support of the PM - he said he'd enjoyed spending so much time with her over the past two days.

The President said: "This incredible woman right here is doing a fantastic job, a great job.

"I mean that. And I must say, I have gotten to know Theresa May much better over the last two days than I have known her over the last year-and-a-half.

"I think she's a terrific woman. I think she's doing a terrific job. And, that Brexit is a very tough situation, that's a tough deal."

And he said: "The United Kingdom and the United States are bound together by a common historic heritage, language and heroes."
