US President Donald Trump said on Monday he had a "very good conversation" with new British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, adding he would be meeting him "in the not too distant future."
"We discussed North Sea Oil, Trade, the Military Alliance, Demining of the Hormuz Strait, and many other topics. The call was interesting, and went very well," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
Trump was critical of former British Prime Minister Keir Starmer over the US Iran war, immigration, energy and tech regulation.
Relations between Trump and Starmer cooled when Britain initially rejected a US request to use British bases for strikes on Iran. Starmer later authorized US use of the bases.
Late last month, Trump said he knew little about Burnham, describing him as "extremely liberal" and someone who probably would not open the North Sea to more oil drilling.
