UPDATE: President Donald Trump is pledging support for what he calls a "most special relationship" between the U.S. and Britain.
Trump says in a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May it is an honor to have her at the White House as his first official visit from a foreign leader.
He says, "The special relationship between our two countries has been one of the great forces in history" for justice and peace.
He says the U.S. "respects the sovereignty of the British people and their right of self-determination" and says both countries understand "that governments must be responsive to everyday working people."
