Trump in the UK: Is the "special relationship" at risk?
Listen now
Description
It's day two of U.S. President Donald Trump's state visit to the UK. Yesterday, he was welcomed by the royal family with full pomp and ceremony. But today, the focus shifts to politics. Trump is spending the bulk of the day with outgoing UK PM Theresa May. Headlines suggest she may take a tough line with him over issues like China and climate, but of course the UK also will be keen to forge a trade deal with the U.S. in a post-Brexit world. Can May lay the groundwork for that today? Is Trump really willing to give any "special" treatment to the US' historic ally? Isa Soares is live from Buckingham Palace, with George Pascoe Watson, Linda Yueh and Iain Dale.
