在英国即将脱欧,川普总统刚刚上任之际,英国首相特雷莎·梅将呼吁重振美英两国的“特殊关系”。

特雷莎·梅星期四将先到费城,星期五访问白宫。她将是川普上任后第一位在华盛顿与他会晤的外国领导人。

特雷莎·梅计划星期四在费城向在开会的国会共和党人发表讲话;根据她的发言稿,她将回顾两国关系所“缔造的现代世界”。川普总统和副总统彭斯也将参加星期四的会议。

川普总统和特雷莎·梅首相都在采取措施,对国际关系领域进行改革,特别是在贸易领域内。英国脱离欧盟和美国退出12国太平洋贸易伙伴关系协定意味着世界各国要谈判达成新的贸易协议。

特雷莎·梅的脱欧计划包括把移民控制作为重点,不过她还没有宣布详细的政策计划。

British Prime Minister Theresa May is set to call for a renewal of the "special relationship" with the United States, as Britain prepares to leave the European Union and President Donald Trump begins his term as the U.S. leader.

May is traveling Thursday to Philadelphia ahead of a visit to the White House on Friday. She will be the first foreign leader to meet with Trump in Washington since he took office.

May is scheduled to speak Thursday at a retreat for Republican members of Congress, where according to prepared remarks she will highlight the history of a relationship she says "made the modern world." Trump and Vice President Mike Pence will also attend the retreat Thursday.

"So as we rediscover our confidence together -- as you renew your nation just as we renew ours -- we have the opportunity, indeed the responsibility, to renew the special relationship for this new age. We have the opportunity to lead, together, again," May will say, according excerpts of her prepared remarks.

Both leaders have taken steps to reform their international relations, particularly through trade. Britain's exit from the EU and Trump's withdraw from the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership will necessitate negotiating new trade agreements throughout the world.

May's plan for the EU exit includes placing a priority on controlling immigration, though she has not yet announced the proposed policy in detail.
