Burnham and Trump hold first meeting on UN General Assembly sidelines
–
Neutral summary
Andy Burnham and Donald Trump met for the first time on Tuesday, 22 September, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. After the talks, Trump said US-UK relations are “more up” under Burnham than under Keir Starmer, in the latest dig at the former prime minister. Burnham said he and Trump made a “good connection”, and reports note the US president remained polite and friendly throughout a news conference, offering largely diplomatic answers to potential flashpoint topics. Before the meeting, Burnham delivered his first speech to the UN General Assembly as prime minister, insisting the UK is “not on the slide” and covering AI, Russian aggression and Gaza. The speech came after Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said at the weekend that the UK was in decline and that its attitude to wealth was driving the mega-rich to leave the country. Trump also met other world leaders, including Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Novara Media described Trump’s UN address as his wildest speech yet, and former chancellor George Osborne, now an OpenAI employee, weighed in on the backlash to UK data centres. Burnham became prime minister in July, making this his first foreign trip in the role.
