Boris Johnson met Donald Trump for the first time since he became Prime Minister this morning as tried to lay the groundwork for a swift post-Brexit trade deal but warned the NHS will be 'completely off limits'. The breakfast sit down in Biarritz represented a major moment in US and UK relations with the two men having built up a strong rapport with almost weekly phone calls since Mr Johnson took office last month. Before the meeting took place Mr Johnson appeared to try flattery to further win over his ally as he suggested the US President is more popular in Britain than people think. But in a sign that the new special relationship is likely to face bumps in the road, Mr Johnson was expected to play hard ball with Mr Trump on the scope of a future trans-Atlantic trade agreement. The meeting between the PM and Mr Trump comes just hours before Mr Johnson will sit down with Donald Tusk in what is likely to be a tense showdown.
