That's it for today's Politics Live page following Theresa May's meeting with US President Donald Trump in Washington DC.
Here are some of the day's highlights:
- Theresa May kicked off her visit to the US by signalling a shift in foreign policy. She criticised the "failed" military interventions of previous governments at a speech in Philadelphia on Thursday.
- On Friday morning a White House press office gaffe saw the Prime Minister's name misspelled in a press briefing document.
- The May-Trump press conference saw assurances that the US president is in fact "100% committed to Nato"
- And our North American colleagues produced this round-up of the new president's first week on the job.
Until next time, goodbye.

Donald Trump's intense first weekpublished at 19:39 GMT 27 January 2017

Today's press conference with Theresa May rounds off Donald Trump's first seven days in power.
Donald Trump promised that he would deliver big things for the American people from the moment he came into office. To call his first week "yuge", as he might say, would be an understatement.
Mr Trump's first seven days in office have seen a flurry of executive orders, a war declared by his team on the mainstream media, some of the largest protests ever held in the United States, and the coining of a term - "alternative facts" - that could come to define the White House under his tenure.
The BBC website has published more than 200 stories and videos about or relating to President Trump since inauguration day.
It's been a busy week.

US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Theresa May have reaffirmed their commitment to the Nato alliance after White House talks.

Both leaders said they would work to establish trade negotiation agreements.
Mrs May also said Mr Trump had accepted an invitation from the Queen for a state visit later this year.

The story of Churchill's bustpublished at 19:02 GMT 27 January 2017
Reality Check

A bust of Winston Churchill on display in the Oval Office has become a symbol of the "special relationship" - what people call the close post-war ties between the UK and US.
Former President Barack Obama sparked outrage in some quarters when he removed the bust to make way for one of civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King.
The thing is, there are two busts of Churchill, that have both been displayed in the White House.
As the Washington Post, external reports, the bust removed by President Obama - and recently put back by President Trump - was originally loaned to Obama's predecessor George W Bush by Tony Blair.
Even when that one was returned to the British ambassador's residence during the Obama presidency, there was always still a bust of Churchill in the White House - the 1946 original by the artist Jacob Epstein.

Theresa May: We can agree to disagreepublished at 18:44 GMT 27 January 2017
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg's challenge to Mr Trump about his support for torture, Russia, banning Muslims and punishment for abortion prompted the US president to joke with Theresa May: "This was your choice of a question. There goes that relationship."
Quizzed about how she would deal with areas on which the two leaders disagreed, Mrs May said:
Quote Message
I have been listening to the president and the president has been listening to me. That's the point of having a conversation and a dialogue. There will be times when we disagree and issues on which we disagree. The point of the special relationship is that we are able to have that open and frank discussion so we are able to make that clear when it happens. But I am clear also that there are many issues on which the UK and the US stand alongside one another, many issues on which we agree."
She said an "even stronger special relationship" would be in the interests of the wider world.
