Mr Trump is also expected to meet Mr Hunt for one-on-one talks tomorrow. Bill de Blasio's intervention came amid controversy over comments Mr Trump had made about Boris Johnson's candidacy in the Tory leadership race and Nigel Farage's mooted role in future Brexit negotiations. Instead he is believed to have had a 'warm' and productive 20-minute phone call with Mr Trump last night. Mr Johnson has already been endorsed by Mr Trump as the former foreign secretary continues to lead the competition to become Conservative leader. Mr Trump said he believes Britain can have a 'very very substantial trade deal' with the United States after it leaves the EU.
