A Downing Street spokeswoman said: “The Prime Minister was pleased to host President Trump’s special envoy to the United Kingdom, Mark Burnett, at Downing Street last night, during which he took a call from President Trump and discussed his forthcoming visit to the US.”.
Speaking to reporters from the White House on Friday, Mr Trump reflected on his phone call with Sir Keir on Thursday and said: “He asked for a meeting and I agreed to the meeting, we’re going to have a friendly meeting, very good.
In what is understood to have been an impromptu call from Mr Trump, while Sir Keir was meeting Mark Burnett, Washington’s special envoy to the UK, the pair also touched on the special relationship between the UK and the US.
A photograph of the meeting posted by the US embassy showed Sir Keir speaking to the president while at the dinner table in 10 Downing Street alongside Mr Burnett and American charge d’affaires, Matthew Palmer.
Earlier on Friday Downing Street said that Sir Keir and the president discussed “his forthcoming visit to the US” in a phone call on Thursday.
