Piers Morgan returned to Good Morning Britain today, where he chatted with Susanna Reid about the new Prime Minister Andy Burnham and also his long time 'friend' Donald Trump09:51, 20 Jul 2026Updated 09:51, 20 Jul 2026Piers Morgan returned to Good Morning Britain today and had his say on Donald Trump, as well as a word of warning for new Prime Minister Andy Burnham.‌As Burnham prepares to have an audience with the King today, talk will turn to how he navigates a relationship with his US counterpart. Piers, who claims to be pals with the the US President, had some sage words of advice for the country's new leader.‌In shocking scenes yesterday, Trump crashed the World Cup final photo of winners Spain, with even FIFA's president Gianni Infantino - who has sparked much controversy during this World Cup - trying to pull him out the shot.‌When GMB host Susanna Reid said that right at the end Trump tried to photobomb Spain's winning photo, Piers replied: "When you see Gianni Infantino [FIFA's president] wrestling him away, if it's too bad for even Infantino, you know there's a problem."It was classic Trump. He obviously wants to make an impression. The World Cup itself was one of the greats, as a football fan, and I was so happy that the worst losers imaginable (Argentina) didn't win. Great to see Spain win."‌Piers was also asked how Andy Burnham should deal with the US president. Speaking about his own relationship with Trump, Piers said: "I've had falling outs with Trump but I've maintained a good friendship with him. I was texting him the other day. You can do it but you've got to be very thick skinned."Talk then turned to the banner held up by Argentina after their win against England, which read "Las Malvinas son Argentinas". It translates as "The Falklands are Argentine". Their decision to hold up the banner was defended by The White House.‌Speaking to reporters Andrew Giuliani, head of the White House FIFA task force, said: "We believe in our First Amendment rights here in the United States of America," whilst Downing Street backed calls for FIFA to investigate.The prime minister's official spokesperson saying: "The World Cup might not be ours, but the Falkland Islands definitely are. Our commitment to the Falklands will never waver."‌The government of the Falkland Islands said it was "disappointed but not surprised" and told FIFA they should "sanction all behaviour of this nature in line with its own rules"."We do not wish to see politics being brought into sport. Nor do we wish the Islands and their people to be used as a political football in every conversation about England and Argentina," they said.Argentinian's president said that in a "worst case scenario" the players would receive a £20,000 economic sanction from FIFA". Defending their actions, he said: "It is perfectly valid and legitimate for the players to want to express themselves and do so. The things that happen on the field with the players are not part of diplomacy."Article continues belowLike this s tory?
