Protesters rallied in Zurich against Donald Trump’s upcoming visit to Davos AFP
The two leaders asked officials to work together on finalising the details of the visit during talks at the World Economic Forum in Swiss ski resort Davos.
President Donald Trump barreled into a global summit in the Swiss Alps on Thursday, threatening to stop USA aid to the Palestinians and dismissing as a "false rumor" the idea that there are tensions in the US relationship with Britain.
Asked if he was concerned about sparking a trade war, Ross said: "Trade war has been in place for quite a little while, the difference is the USA troops are now coming to the ramparts". We're part of it, and we're part of a world economy. "The president has always believed in that".
Britain and the USA are "joined at the hip" militarily and America will always be ready to "fight for you", he told her.
"The message of our industrial strategy to the world is clear: Britain will be one of the best places in the world in which to start and grow a business", she said.
As Trump swept into the conference hall trailed by US and European officials, hundreds watched from a restricted area. He has threatened to withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), disavowed the global climate change accord and criticized institutions such as the United Nations and NATO.
He also said that Trump will tell the other world leaders that "a prosperous America benefits the world".
French President Emmanuel Macron told RTS channel that he had "strongly recommended" to Trump to attend the Davos forum during a recent phone conversation they had on Iran ...
"This is about an America First agenda".

Following the suit being filed, the network suspended Faulk, Evans and Taylor pending an investigation into the allegations. Sapp, also a Hall of Famer, urinated in front of Cantor, according to the suit, and laughed off her plea for him to leave.
"It just means that President Trump is looking out for American workers and American interests - no different than he expects other leaders to look out for their own". "The difference is the U.S. troops are now coming to the ramparts", he added. China and South Korea condemned the tariffs, with Seoul set to complain to the World Trade Organization over the "excessive" move.
While acknowledging that it is legitimate for each leader to say "My country first", Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni said trade was the means toward economic growth and that protectionism runs counter to that. His combative commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross, conceded Wednesday that China could respond by imposing its own tariffs on US products.
Mnuchin said Trump's over-riding priority is to boost US growth, and that "economic growth in the U.S.is obviously good for the rest of the world", he said.
The "America First" view that underpins the Trump economic program has already seen the US withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade deal with 11 countries, and seek a renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico. Delegates include Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and adviser.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed at Davos this week that his country and the 10 remaining members of the Trans-Pacific Partnership have revised their trade deal following the USA withdrawal.
But he added, "We are fans of bilateral trading agreements". The Brexit vote was based in part on a promise to limit European Union immigration, so the negotiation on a new trade deal between the European Union and Britain is expected to be hard.
In response to reporters' questions, both Mr Trump and Mrs May said they would "talk about" his mooted state visit to the United Kingdom, but neither gave any clues as to when it might take place.
Those tax reforms, Mnuchin said, have already reaped big dividends, with many USA businesses, including Apple, saying they will repatriate money back into the US, pay more taxes and hand out bonuses to staff.
