Save for later

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has had a strong start with U.S. President Donald Trump at their first meeting. The two leaders met for over 40 minutes on Tuesday at the U.N. General Assembly. Trump brushed aside differences over the Middle East and the Chagos Islands, emphasizing strong trans-Atlantic relations. Burnham acknowledged U.S.-U.K. differences but noted Trump's willingness to listen on issues like trade and the Falkland Islands.

Trump criticized Britain's plan to hand sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. In another potential point of difference, Burnham plans to focus on artificial intelligence in his U.N. speech, advocating for global AI standards.
