Jeremy Hunt has spoken out to allay rumours of Theresa May’s imminent departure as Prime Minister.
Despite this, the Government has not announced in its weekly business statement when the second reading of the Withdrawal Agreement Bill will take place in the House of Commons.
The Foreign Secretary said that Mrs May will definitely still be in post during President Trump’s state visit.
The US President is due in the UK during the first week of June.
“Theresa May will be Prime Minister to welcome him and rightly so” Mr Hunt said.
Speaking at the NATO event, Mr Hunt also refused to say what he would be telling Mrs May about the EU withdrawal bill, which is set to go in front of MPs again in the coming weeks.

She has previously agreed to set out the timetable for the contest to replace her after a crunch vote on her Brexit deal, widely expected on June 7.
Sir David Evennett is the latest voice in Mrs May’s own party to call for her resignation.
He tweeted: “Theresa May must now resign. We need a new PM a new Cabinet and a new approach to Brexit.”
