what we saw the first time.
Donald Trump has asserted his relationship with the UK is “more up” with Andy Burnham than under Keir Starmer despite tensions between the two countries on a range of thorny issues including regulation of artificial intelligence, the Chagos islands and the war in Iran.
On his way to the US, Burnham had said he would urge the US president to de-escalate the Iran conflict, with instability in the Middle East pushing up global energy prices, putting the UK economy under intense pressure.
Trump, who has suggested Iran could agree to a deal after the US midterms in November, said “people understand” the need to prevent Tehran getting a nuclear weapon, even if that meant price hikes at the petrol pumps and in shops.

The article, shortened and in plain language
US president calls UK prime minister ‘a natural businessperson’ as leaders meet at UN assembly in New York.
Donald Trump has asserted his relationship with the UK is “more up” with Andy Burnham than under Keir Starmer despite tensions between the two countries on a range of thorny issues including regulation of artificial intelligence, the Chagos islands and the war in Iran.
Burnham, who was joined in the talks by Ed Miliband, the foreign secretary, and Jonathan Powell, his national security adviser, said he and Trump had built on the “good connection” they established early on, in an effort to shore up relations which had splintered over Iran.
On his way to the US, Burnham had said he would urge the US president to de-escalate the Iran conflict, with instability in the Middle East pushing up global energy prices, putting the UK economy under intense pressure.
Asked later whether he had any sympathy with allies which were feeling pain over the cost of living as a result of his actions, Trump said that “as soon as the war is over the prices are going to come way down”.
Trump, who has suggested Iran could agree to a deal after the US midterms in November, said “people understand” the need to prevent Tehran getting a nuclear weapon, even if that meant price hikes at the petrol pumps and in shops.
In another schism between the two countries, Trump was scathing about the UK’s deal to give away sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, while paying for a lease of the military base of Diego Garcia.
