8:02 pm
a phenomenal trade deal between the u.s. and the u.k. there is tremendous potential in the trade deal i say probably to at even 3 times of what we're doing right now tremendous potential mr president you and i agreed the 1st time we met that we should aim for an ambitious free trade agreement when the u.k. leaves the and more positive discussions today i know that we both remain committed to this. earlier the pair had met business leaders over breakfast but he's already sounding out politicians who want to replace their as party leader and prime minister by the end of july trump again praised former foreign secretary boris johnson but also mitchell jeremy hunt who took over from johnson hunt's one of several would be candidates denying suggestions repeated by trump that the n.h.s. britain state provided health service would be on the table in trade talks do you agree with your ambassador that the entire economy needs to be on the table in the future trade talks the trade deal including the n.h.s.
8:03 pm
look i think everything with a trade deal is on the table when you when you're dealing in trade everything's on the table so n.h.s. or anything else trump also said they discussed their differences over iran and whether china's huawei is allowed to take part in building britain's 5 g. mobile networks. we were just down the road thousands rallied at the start of a march to westminster the so-called carnival of resistance where the real donald trump is being kept well away from the protesters because wherever his motorcade goes the pavements are being cleared but the people here are determined not to let his state visit go unchallenged disrespect for women and disrespect for the media for truth and honor and we are treating him like an extraordinary human being we are wasting millions on this i think that the british government is above their head and think to be able to welcome submitting is kind of a new new though fascist as the british government tries to steer a path out of the european union president trumps promising
8:04 pm
a new partnership but he's not known for compromise and many here are urging caution nadine barber al jazeera london well trump says he refused an offer from britain's main opposition leader to meet during his state visits attending an anti trying protest jeremy corbin hit out at the president for calling london's mayor a quote stone cold loser. i am not absolutely not refusing to meet anybody i want to be able to have that dialogue to praying about the better and more peaceful world that we all want to live in but i am very disappointed particularly to day on the wonderful festival of eat the amero of london city khan has been attacked in the way that. i'm proud that our city has a muslim man that we can chase down islamophobia anti semitism
8:05 pm
any form of racism within our society so that. anything. no not a great deal i mean no more than one would expect really in a meeting between a president and a prime minister who in just a few days' time is going to step down as the leader of her party essentially bringing her premiership to an end there's a fierce contest underway to succeed her and will be a new prime minister in place probably at the end of july so you know there was always going to be a huge limit on what sort of substandard of business could be achieved at a state visit of this sort on this occasion the top line issue of contention between the 2 sides probably the question of huawei the chinese telecoms giant and its possible involvement in building elements of the u.k.'s 5 g.
8:06 pm
network the americans are very worried about that worried about the intelligence and security implications of trump was asked about it he said they essentially brushed it aside he said there will be an agreement between us on this issue as if saying look don't worry about it this was the dealt with by to resume a successor and that was probably the tone of much of the substantiative talk but was going on behind closed doors they did talk about breaks of course in a post breaks it trade deal both issues that donald trump is a big fan of he used big terms like very very substantial and phenomenal to describe the size of that deal to resume a was asked whether she would heed the president's advice and stick around to see that deal done and she said she was a woman of her word which means she will as planned and promised be stepping down as i say as the leader of the conservative party on friday and how is it being seen in the u.k. that trump really showed a great interest in a lot of the political questions that the country has to deal with.
8:07 pm
well it's an extraordinary spectacle really a visiting foreign leader who traditionally i mean perhaps mr trump it's an outdated idea of a traditionally would would stay clear of interfering in the politics particular of his host on an occasion like this mr trump going to the opposite extreme absolutely vigorously engaging in the debate about the success of series of may he has opened the indoor sports johnson the former foreign secretary as a great prime minister also the current foreign secretary jeremy hunt the other big contender michael gove's a man he's met but he says he doesn't know him all that well and suddenly this afternoon there was talk of a possible one on one meeting he's also been meeting in the last hour with nigel farage another very controversial politician here a far what right wing probe politician mr trump clearly. not reluctant in any way to get involved in the politics of this country the very choppy politics of
