Mr K's called this one right.
A key reason for Theresa May going to the US was for trade. Firstly, to enhance her bargaining position with the EU by having other countries lined up to take the place of the 440m population EU 27 market. Secondly, in the realisation of the need to establish more options if a good deal with the EU is not concluded.
Theresa May knows that she's dealing with fire but as has been pointed out, she doesn't have too many options and hence decided to take a risk with Trump.
