"The UK and United States have a deep and enduring partnership that is rooted in our common history and shared interests," May said in a statement.
"The State Visit is an opportunity to strengthen our already close relationship in areas such as trade, investment, security and defense, and to discuss how we can build on these ties in the years ahead."

Anti-Trump campaigners promised to flood London during the U.S. president's visit.
British demonstrators on Tuesday began coordinating a mass demonstration against the U.S. president, who has been criticized heavily for his approach to immigration and climate change.
Shaista Aziz, from the Stop Trump coalition, said, "It is time for everyone who opposes this politics of hate and bigotry to stand up and be counted."
