UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he is ready to disagree with US President Donald Trump if it is in Britain's national interest. In an interview with the BBC, Burnham said he had a good first meeting with Trump and found him warm. However, he said he would always put Britain's interests first. Burnham also said he had concerns about the conflict with Iran and would speak out when needed. He ruled out holding an early general election before 2029. On defence spending, Burnham said the government is working on a plan but did not give a timeline for reaching its target. (PC: BBC)
