“Andy Burnham’s once-fervent criticisms of U.S. President Donald Trump have been dismissed by a UK cabinet member as just ‘politics’ as the two leaders prepare to meet for the first time in New York this week,” the Financial Times reports.
“As mayor of Greater Manchester, Burnham said in 2021 in the wake of the Capitol riots that ‘any UK politician who gave Trump the time of day should be ashamed right now,’ and has also previously described U.S. politics as ‘poisonous.'”
“The UK prime minister is expected to meet Trump and other world leaders on the margins of the UN General Assembly on Tuesday amid hopes that common transatlantic interests and personal chemistry will overcome past differences.”
