Donald Trump says meeting with UK PM Andy Burnham will happen "in the not too distant future"

New UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham assumed office Monday after replacing Keir Starmer, immediately speaking with US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. During their call, Trump characterized the conversation as positive and stated the two leaders would meet soon, posting on Truth Social that Washington would assist Burnham. The call covered trade, military cooperation, and clearing mines from the Strait of Hormuz. Burnham also affirmed British support for Ukraine against Russian aggression. The exchange matters as it signals the early tone of US-UK relations under a new British leader facing economic strain, high debt, and pressure from the hard-right Reform party.
