THERESA MAY had to nudge Donald US President to pay attention at the G20 summit today, as they geared up for talks in Hamburg.

The Prime Minister had to tap the President on the shoulder to face the cameras while he was daydreaming and failed to realise they were posting for a picture.

However, the US President appeared to bring the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, to despair, as she was pictured with her head in her hands.

Mrs May and President Trump are set to have one-on-one talks together this afternoon.

Earlier today she vowed to be "bold" in wake of her election disaster as she prepared to challenge President Trump and the Saudis today.

The Prime Minister said this morning the election "didn't come out as I hoped it would" but she refused to sit back and do nothing.

World leaders have descended on Hamburg in Germany today to discuss a range of global issues, including counter-terrorism and climate change.

This is the first time Mrs May will face them since the election last month where she lost a handful of seats and her majority in Parliament.

She told the press today: that the “didn’t come out as it hoped I would."

She went on: "There’s two ways the government can react to that. We can be very timid and sit back or we can be bold and that’s what we are going to be."

The PM also said she will tell President Trump how "disappointed" the UK was that the US decided to pull out of the Paris climate change agreement, and that she "hopes they will find a way to come back" into it.

The pair will hold talks together in formal meetings this afternoon, where she will say she does not think the agreement needs to be renegotiated.

They last met in Italy earlier this year, where they discussed a post-Brexit trade deal.

But the visit came as they attempted to repair the "special relationship" with unscheduled discussions in the garden grounds at a G7 summit.

Following the Manchester terror attacks, security services temporarily suspended intelligence sharing after a string of leaks to US newspapers about details of the case.

She also pulled him aside as the pair waited for an official photo at the NATO summit in Brussels – and made it clear that “intelligence must remain secure” as police continued to make arrests.

Mrs May and Mr Trump are also today set to discuss North Korea's missile test, and could talk about the controversial case of sick baby Charlie Gard, who the US President has said he would be delighted to help the 11-month old in his country.

13 Trump says he wants to help, but May says the courts and doctors should be listened to

If we can help little #CharlieGard, as per our friends in the U.K. and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 3, 2017

The President tweeted on Monday: "If we can help little Charlie Gard, as per our friends in the UK and the Pope, we would be delighted to do so."

The boy is currently being cared for in London, but a UK court ruled that his life-support machine should be turned off.

The Vatican has also offered to help treat the sick child, but both Boris Johnson and Mrs May have said the decisions of the courts and doctors should be respected.

Mrs May is also set to face off with Saudia Arabia too over terrorist funding.

There were surreal scenes ahead of the event, as hundreds of activists dressed up as zombies in a “Welcome to hell” demonstration.

The protests on the eve of the summit’s opening became more violent, with riot police firing water cannons at demonstrators after they pelted cops with rocks.
