Theresa May appeared to roll her eyes as Donald Trump was quizzed about remarks he made criticising her Brexit strategy.
The Prime Minister was filmed performing an apparent eye roll after the US president was asked about comments he made in an interview with The Sun published on Friday.
Mr Trump was asked whether or not he regretted the comments he made in the explosive interview with the paper in which he accused the PM of “wrecking Brexit.”
The President replied by shaking his head, while the Prime Minister cast her eyes to the ceiling. Mr Trump later branded the interview "fake news" during the pair's official press conference at Chequers.

He warnedMrs May that her Brexit plan could “kill” any US-trade deal because it would leave the UK closely aligned to the EU.

"If they do that, then their trade deal with the US will probably not be made."
His highly-controversial remarks came at the end of a day in which he had already waded deeply into the Brexit row over Mrs May's white paper ahead of his first official visit to Britain as President.
He had used a Thursday morning press conference at Nato in Brussels to attack the Prime Minister's Brexit plan and highlight Cabinet divisions.

Mr Trump listened as she said they would discuss “the real opportunities we have got to have this trade deal coming up when we leave the European Union”.
In turn he claimed the pair had “probably never developed a better relationship” than during last night’s welcome dinner at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.
The pair posed stiffly for photographs while the US President hailed their “very good relationship”.
