Andy Burnham expected to meet Donald Trump in New York
Meeting planned on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly after Burnham’s late‑August visit to Kyiv.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham is expected to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in New York, officials say, with the encounter planned on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
If confirmed, the meeting would mark the first time Burnham and Trump have held talks, and is scheduled to take place during this year’s UNGA sessions in New York City.
Previous visit to Kyiv
Burnham travelled to Kyiv at the end of August together with other international leaders to mark Ukraine’s 35th independence anniversary. Speaking from Kyiv, the prime minister pledged: "We will help Ukraine create long-range missiles".
The forthcoming New York meeting is presented as part of a wider diplomatic agenda after Burnham’s trip to Ukraine. Details on the exact timing and venue of the encounter on the UNGA sidelines have not been publicly released.
Observers say that talks between leaders on UNGA margins often focus on security cooperation and bilateral matters; Burnham’s recent comments in Kyiv underline defence and support for Ukraine as likely topics of discussion.
