May said she would raise the issue with Trump when the pair meet in Britain next month.

“And it is right that we are able to sit down and discuss those with the president.”

Trump told Republican lawmakers Tuesday he backed their efforts to craft an immigration solution that ends the politically toxic practice of separating illegal migrant families on the US-Mexico border.
