At last Mrs May set to visit Trump in February after his inauguration

It has finally be revealed to the public that the British Prime Minister, Theresa May will be travelling to the U.S. on an official visit to Donald Trump on an exact date yet to be given in February. Weeks after the President-elect’s inauguration taking place in January 20 2017.

The confirmation of the planned visit came after Mrs May’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill, flew across the Atlantic to meet members of Mr Trump's team in mid-December 2016.

So far, the public views such courtesy visit as a strategic move for reconciliation with Donald Trump and his followers, after several setbacks amid the presidential electioneering campaign.

Mr Trump was also believed to have been insulted by a leaked email to Mrs May from the current ambassador, Sir Kim Darroch, written the day after the presidential election in November.

In the email, leaked to The Sunday Times, it was reported that Sir Kim made mention to the Prime Minister that Mr Trump was "an outsider and an unknown quantity", a put-down thought to have provoked Mr Trump's backing for Mr Farage.

Though report has it that it took over 24 hours before Mr Trump decided to say any word to Mrs May by phone, after winning the presidential election in November. However, he still extended hands of fellowship to the PM, by inviting her to Washington as soon as possible.

In order to strengthen the diplomatic relationship with the U.S., report has it that Her Majesty, the Queen is also planning to reciprocate Trump’s gesture by inviting him to the UK after his inauguration.

 Nevertheless, in an seeming U-turn last week, in an article in the Washington Post, Sir Kim praised Mr Trump's "historic and impressive win" and suggested the relationship between Mr Trump and Theresa May could be as strong as that of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.

Confirming the US visit by Ms Hill and Mr Timothy, a Number 10 source said it was part of the build-up to the Prime Minister's first trip to meet the new President.

"The Prime Minister suggested it would be a good idea for key staff from both teams to meet. President-elect Trump agreed this would be useful," as reported by source.

"We are pleased to have been able to make that happen and the Prime Minister looks forward to visiting the new president in the spring."

Prior to the proposed visit, the PM had been given several accusations, saying she was suffering from embarrassment and being by-passed when Mr Farage, the former UKIP leader met Mr Trump within days of his shock victory over Hillary Clinton.

Recall that during her tenure as the Home Secretary, in December 2015, Mrs May criticised Mr Trump's proposed ban on Muslims entering the United States as "divisive, unhelpful and wrong."

Her two aides also may have had some personal explaining to do on their trip. In May last year, before becoming joint chief of staff at Number 10, Mr Timothy said on Twitter that he did not want "any 'reaching out' to Trump," while Ms Hill tweeted: "Donald Trump is a chump."

There have been claims that there is concern in Whitehall about poor links with the incoming US administration at a time when Britain is looking to expand trade after leaving the EU.

It is reported that in private, officials have complained that Trump's team is not giving them any notice of its intentions.

Responding to Mrs May's planned visit, former justice secretary Michael Gove told Sky News: "It's entirely appropriate for the British Prime Minister and the American President, whoever they are, whichever parties they are, to have a good working relationship.

"That doesn't mean that they have to be figures in a romance.

"It simply means they need to manage the relationships, which are deep and enduring between these two countries, in the best interests of both countries."

He further stated: "I suspect that that meeting will concentrate on making sure that the relationship between our two countries stays in a business-like fashion."
