00:10The British government defended its decision to invite US President Donald Trump. Prime

00:15Minister Theresa May's government wants to reaffirm the special relationship with

00:19the United States and secure a trade deal as Britain prepares to leave the European

00:24Union.

00:25The visit has spurred 1.8 million people in Britain to sign a petition saying Trump should

00:31not be given a state visit because it could embarrass Queen Elizabeth. Around 7,000 protesters

00:37gathered outside the parliament with placards bearing slogans such as Dump Trump, Fight

00:43Bigotry.

00:44Donald Trump tapped respected Army Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster as his national security

00:49advisor, hoping to course-correct after his first pick resigned and a second turned down

00:55the vital post.
