Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham discuss North Sea oil and Hormuz Strait de‑mining

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he had “a very good conversation” with the United Kingdom’s new Prime Minister Andy Burnham. The call covered a range of issues, including North Sea oil and gas development, bilateral trade, the NATO‑led military alliance, and the de‑mining of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said the discussion was “interesting and went very well,” praised Burnham’s ability to handle his “big job,” and affirmed that the United States would support the new British government.

Both leaders indicated that they will meet “in the not‑too‑distant future,” and Burnham reportedly invited Trump to attend the G20 summit in Manchester. The dialogue marks the first direct contact between the two heads of state since Burnham took office following the resignation of former Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
