Wales' First Minister Carwyn Jones has told Theresa May that Donald Trump should not come on a state visit to the UK.

Mr Jones met the Prime Minister ahead of a meeting of the Joint Minsterial Council of devolved leaders in Cardiff today.

According to the Welsh Government he "told the Prime Minister that a state visit would be difficult in current circumstances".

Mr Jones is also understood to have told the PM that Brexit should not be a land grab of devolved powers.

Nicola Sturgon, Arlene Foster and Carwyn Jones were all at the meeting - along with Brexit Secretary David Davis and Trade Secretary Liam Fox.

It was the first meeting of the committee since Ms May's speech laying out her aims for Brexit.

First Minister Carwyn Jones and Plaid leader Leanne Wood have since published their Brexit manifesto with the contrasting aim of keeping the UK in the single market.

Mr Jones pressed the arguments in the Welsh Government’s Brexit White Paper.

Mr Jones said: “Today’s meeting is an important opportunity for open and frank discussions about the UK’s future post-Brexit.

"While we know that the UK will leave the EU we don’t yet know how that will happen or what form our relationship with the EU will look like beyond that point."
