EMAIL DETAILS

President-elect Donald Trump has invited British Prime Minister Theresa May for a visit to the United States "as soon as possible," according to a spokesperson for No. 10 Downing Street.

Trump spoke with May by phone on Thursday, the prime minister's office said, and she congratulated him "on his hard-fought election campaign and victory." The president-elect said he looked forward to working together, and expressed confidence "that the special relationship would go from strength to strength," the spokesperson said.

May noted the long history of the close ties between the two countries, as well as their shared values, but also expressed a desire to bolster bilateral trade and investment with the United States in the wake of Britain's moves to leave the European Union.

Trump, who owns several golf courses in Ireland and Scotland, described the U.K. as a "very, very special place for me and for our country."

As a presidential candidate, Trump hailed British voters' decision to exit the EU, calling himself "Mr. Brexit" for predicting that the referendum would succeed.
