U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham invited Trump to Manchester in their first phone call as heads of state, an idea Trump liked, according to Politico.

The incoming prime minister will suddenly have to balance his aspirational idealism with the harsh reality of a 'rush of decisions that will crowd in on him'

The new Labour premier's chat with the US President was among his first tasks after entering Downing Steet on Monday.

Donald Trump previously described the new prime minister as ‘the mayor of a town’

Burnham said Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky would be among the first world leaders he would contact as prime minister.
