U.S. President-elect Donald Trump told his British counterpart he wished to rekindle the kind of relationship Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan shared in the 1980s.
He told Prime Minister Theresa May that the U.K. is a “very, very special place for me and for our country” in the phone call at 1:45 p.m. London time, according to an e-mail from May’s office. Trump added that it would be “the greatest possible honor” to host her in Washington “as soon as possible.”
