2026-07-15 18:30:58
UK Labour leadership candidate Andy Burnham stated he would deal with U.S. President Donald Trump in a "frank and direct" manner if he becomes prime minister, aiming to maintain stable U.K.-U.S. relations through his personal style. According to Jin10, Burnham said the U.K. should respect the U.S. presidency and bilateral ties but would also clearly express its stance when disagreements arise, while communicating "according to Trump's style." Trump has previously criticized Burnham as "extremely liberal" and downplayed his political influence. Burnham is expected to be elected Labour leader unopposed on Thursday and succeed Keir Starmer as U.K. prime minister next Monday. Current U.K.-U.S. relations face pressure due to the Iran issue and stalled trade negotiations, and Burnham will face the challenge of repairing bilateral ties after taking office.
