However, she said that the country could not be a member of "every part of the customs union" and make its own trade arrangements with other countries outside the EU. The administration wants China to fully enforce global sanctions meant to starve Pyongyang of revenue for its nuclear and missile programs.

Trump said "something has to be done about it", as he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping (shee jihn-peeng).

Trump's visit to Britain has not yet been scheduled and has reportedly been up in the air in the wake of his dispute with London Mayor Sadiq Khan over terrorism.

May was the first foreign leader to visit Trump at the White House and he told her he would soon "be going to London" once details were worked out. His Russian counterpart, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, said Trump had accepted Putin's assurances that Russia didn't meddle in the USA election - a characterization that the US disputed.

May is looking to secure a deal with the United States as Britain renegotiates its terms of trade with the European Union ahead of Brexit - its withdrawal from the 28-nation bloc. Downing Street sources initially briefed earlier this week that May would focus her talks with the president on four key areas - cutting off terrorist financing, global migration, modern slavery and "making the global economy work for everyone".

Mrs May is expected to raise climate change with US President Donald Trump, stressing that Britain "remains fully committed" to the 2015 Paris climate accord and hoping Mr Trump will reconsider his decision to pull the US out of it.

Asked if other world leaders would perceive her as weaker after the General Election, Mrs May said: "I'm sitting around table contributing on behalf of UK".

The President also said he had had a "tremendous meeting" with his Russian counterpart, in his first comments on his talks with Vladimir Putin on Friday, which lasted more than two hours.
