President-elect Donald Trump says he will meet with U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May in the spring as the British leader tries to ease a frosty start to their relationship and expand ties with the U.S. after her country withdraws from the European Union.

“I look very much forward to meeting Prime Minister Theresa May in Washington in the Spring. Britain, a longtime U.S. ally, is very special!” Trump said on Twitter.
