Theresa May will launch Brexit charm offensive at G20 summit to rally world leaders around deal and future trade plans
THERESA May will launch a desperate bid to sign up world leaders to her Brexit agreement by telling the G20 that Britain can now play a "full role" in global trade.
Becoming only the second PM ever to visit Argentina, Mrs May will launch a huge charm offensive after Donald Trump's blast earlier this week.
The US President said the Brexit deal looked like a "great deal" for the EU and that it could affect US-UK trade.
But Mrs May will insist her proposed Brexit deal is not only "good for the economy", it will boost world trade as the UK can now have its own independent trade policy for the first time in 40 years.
Speaking ahead of the visit, Mrs May said: "The Brexit deal we have agreed sets a path for the UK to a brighter future. Our relationship with the EU will remain close.
"But for the first time in more than four decades, the UK will have an independent trade policy.
"We will play a full and active role on trade on the global stage, working with friends new and old, at a time of unprecedented global interconnectedness."
She'll begin a 48 hour charm offensive with face-to-face talks with Argentine President Mauricio Macri.
