Summary
Donald Trump said he did not know Andy Burnham and had only heard the UK leader-in-waiting was “extremely liberal.”
The remark came Wednesday after a reporter asked Trump about Burnham, the former Greater Manchester mayor poised to replace Keir Starmer as Britain’s next prime minister.
Burnham’s expected elevation points to another leadership upheaval in Britain, with Trump’s first public reaction framing the incoming premier in ideological terms.
