US President Donald Trump insisted he did not criticise Theresa May in the interview that dominated the build-up to the two leaders' press conference.
Mr Trump has sparked a backlash from UK legislators after telling The Sun the PM's Brexit plan would “probably kill” a UK-US trade deal.
He also said Boris Johnson would make a “great prime minister”.
But after talks with Mrs May he claimed “tremendous things” he said about her had been left out of the Sun story.
