Trump greeted May himself upon her arrival at the White House. The pair were to meet in the Oval Office before a joint press conference at roughly 1800 GMT before a working lunch. May’s trip is part influence campaign and part charm offensive. She is expected to give Trump an engraved quaich-a ceremonial cup exchanged by Scottish highland chiefs-in a nod to Trump’s Scottish ancestry. His mother was born on the island of Lewis. For First Lady Melania Trump, May will gift a hamper of apple juice, damson plum jam, marmalade, Bakewell tarts and cran- berry and white chocolate shortbread cookies. The meeting was to be a pivotal moment in trans-Atlantic relations, which have been rocked by Trump’s election and his willingness to rethink NATO, the UN and other foundation blocks of the liberal world order. Meanwhile, the president is expected to order up a new plan for defeating the Islamic State group with expanded US military involvement as he makes his first visit to the Pentagon later.
