<p>“We appreciate the president’s warmth and enthusiasm for the UK-US relationship.</p>
<p>“The UK looks forward to working with our American friends to reach a free trade deal that is good for both countries, and co-operating on the common security challenges we face.”</p>
<p>Earlier, in a Twitter posting, Mr Raab said that he had held “wide-ranging talks” with Mr Pence on a series of issues including China, Iran and a post-Brexit trade deal.</p>
<p>No further details of the meeting with Mr Trump were immediately available.</p>
<p><!--Ads4--></p>
<p>However, the president has already expressed his enthusiasm for the appointment of Boris Johnson as British Prime Minister after relations with Theresa May soured during her final days in office.</p>
<p>Mr Raab is due to have further discussions on Wednesday with other senior administration figures including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton.</p>
<p>He flew into the US capital following talks on Tuesday in Toronto with Canadian foreign minister Chrystia Freeland and is due to travel on to Mexico following his meetings in Washington.</p>
