What happened
Andy Burnham and Donald Trump met at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. They discussed global issues including the Middle East crisis, Gaza, and the Falklands. During the talks, Burnham urged Donald Trump to send interceptor missiles to bolster Ukraine’s air defenses.
Why it matters
The talks included discussions on restoring free movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz. The closure of this key route has already caused oil prices to spike, which complicates efforts to ease the cost of living in Britain.
