Trump said the relationship is improving under Andy Burnham after the two discussed trade, energy and immigration in their first face-to-face meeting.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump met British Prime Minister Andy Burnham at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, hailing him as "a great prime minister" and claiming U.S.-U.K. relations are "more up now" than under his predecessor.
- Trump criticized Britain's plan to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius as a "terrible deal" and "ridiculous," emphasizing that Diego Garcia military base remains "a very important piece of real estate, militarily and strategically."
- Calling Burnham a "natural businessperson," Trump noted their frequent phone discussions before the meeting, while the leaders discussed trade, energy, and immigration; Burnham said, "This relationship matters so much to us and we'll build on that."
- Policy differences emerged on artificial intelligence as Burnham called for "a single set of global principles and standards" to guide AI development, while Trump stated the U.S. would reject any "globalist scheme."
- Burnham intends to present a "positive story" about Britain to draw a line under a decade of post-Brexit turbulence while continuing to seek "common ground" with Trump on the bilateral relationship.
