Should Andy Burnham meet Donald Trump at the UN?

Andy Burnham became Prime Minister in July 2026 after replacing Keir Starmer. He previously criticised Donald Trump and said he would refuse to meet him when he was Mayor of Greater Manchester. Burnham is now due to hold his first in-person meeting with President Trump on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York to discuss Ukraine, the Middle East and UK interests.

YES......unfortunately! If only to tell him to stuff the USA/UKs special one way relationship where the sun doesn't shine

It’s ridiculous to suggest that the UK PM should not meet the elected leader of the USA, one of our key allies.
