WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Theresa May during a phone conversation agreed that a pending data-sharing agreement between their two countries would boost law enforcement efforts, the White House said in a press release.

"The leaders also agreed the pending United States-United Kingdom Data Sharing Agreement would benefit law enforcement efforts in both countries, and they will advocate for legislation together," the release said on Tuesday.

The two leaders, the release said, also agreed on the need to increase pressure on North Korea until it turns to the path of denuclearization.
