Trump describes Britain’s Andy Burnham as ‘extremely liberal’
NBC News • • general
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump expressed limited knowledge about Andy Burnham, Britain's likely next prime minister, describing him as a "mayor of a town" and "extremely liberal."
- Trump suggested Burnham would probably not support opening the North Sea to more oil drilling, contrasting with his advice to former PM Keir Starmer to do so.
- Keir Starmer announced his resignation following poor poll ratings and local election results, with Burnham as the sole contender to replace him as Labour leader and prime minister.
- Relations between Trump and Starmer cooled after Britain initially denied U.S. requests to use British bases for strikes on Iran, though authorization was later granted.
