U.S. President Donald Trump has invited British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to visit him in the White House in the new year, British media reported on Sunday.
Trump’s invitation was made after the British prime minister’s election win this month, The Sunday Times newspaper reported.
Britain wants to strike a new trade deal with the United States after it leaves the European Union at the end of January.
A spokesman for Johnson’s Downing Street office said the reports were “speculation”. “We will respond to any formal invitation, but anything less than that is speculation,” he said.
