22.09.2026 ⇢ The Day Trump Said He Could Do Business With Burnham
⌨
Overnight coverage framed Andy Burnham's arrival in New York for his first meeting with Donald Trump on the UN General Assembly sidelines, with Burnham insisting he could trust Trump after Falklands and Ireland rows and refusing to rule out EU rejoining while pledging Britain had moved past Brexit turbulence.
Attention shifted midday to the Assembly itself, as Secretary-General Guterres warned superpowers could not solve widening faultlines before Trump used his address to repeat an ultimatum that Iran face a deal or annihilation, urge complete economic isolation, and call for AI to be rebranded super intelligence, while Iran offered to reopen Hormuz within seven days.
Evening editors turned to the bilateral readout, with Trump saying he could do business with Burnham, calling him a natural businessman, but branding the Chagos deal terrible, which Burnham said he would review, alongside exchanges on Gaza, Falklands, trade and Russia.
