Theresa May will attempt to sell the idea of a trade deal with post-Brexit Britain to Donald Trump as the G20 summit moves into its second day.

In talks with Mr Trump, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Mrs May will make her pitch for trade deals with both countries, as well as reiterating Britain's commitment to tackling growing aggression from North Korea.

She will also raise the issue of climate change with Mr Trump, following his decision to take the US out of the historic Paris accord.
