Caption: Burnham Says He Will Challenge Trump If Needed. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said he is prepared to challenge President Donald Trump if it is in Britain's national interest. In his first major interview since taking office, Burnham said he had a positive first conversation with Trump, describing the US president as "really warm”. However, he refused to say whether he trusted Trump, adding that he would always judge events as they developed and would not hesitate to express a different view if it was right for Britain. Burnham also said he had concerns about the conflict with Iran and would not hold back from speaking out when necessary. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said the UK should maintain strong ties with the US but be honest when disagreements arise.
