The British government says U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to visit the U.K. this year.
Prime Minister Theresa May met Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday. Her office says the two leaders asked their officials "to work together on finalizing the details of a visit by the President to the U.K. later this year."
A year has passed since May invited Trump to pay a state visit to Britain as a guest of Queen Elizabeth II. Opponents have vowed to stage large protests if he comes, and no date has yet been announced.
May said the "special relationship" between the U.S. and the U.K. continues.
Trump and May last year traded criticism over Trump's retweets of a far-right group's anti-Muslim videos. Trump also canceled a trip to London for the opening of a new U.S. Embassy.
Later, President Trump said his visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, is already "very successful."
He told reporters on his way between meetings that "we are seeing tremendous investment and today has been a very exciting day, a very great day and great for our country."
Trump is the first U.S. president to come to the forum in Davos since Bill Clinton in 2000.
Later on Thursday he was due to hold a reception with CEOs and other global executives.
