US President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister Theresa May shake hands at the conclusion of a news conference after their bilateral meeting in Hangzhou in eastern China’s Zhejiang province on Sunday alongside the G20 Summit. Obama noted the US remains focused on finishing trade deals with Asia-Pacific and with the European Union. The president said that he believed that Britain’s priority meanwhile was “figuring out what Brexit means with respect to Europe.” Still, Obama promised to work closely with May to avoid “adverse effects” in the trade relationship.

She abruptly stalled approval for the project pushed through by her predecessor, and said Sunday she was reviewing “all the evidence around this issue,” including relating to national security.
