British Prime Minister Andy Burnham plans to hold his first face-to-face meeting with Donald Trump next month. The British Prime Minister and other European leaders hope to use this to persuade the US President to expand Ukraine's anti-aircraft missile inventory. Burnham said he will attend the UN General Assembly to be held in New York in September. At the same time, British officials hope, depending on Trump's schedule, to hold bilateral meetings at the White House. According to Downing Street, Burnham's visit itinerary will be announced in accordance with the “usual procedure.” Successive British prime ministers have taken the opportunity of attending the UN General Assembly to visit the White House along the way. 10 Downing Street declined to comment, but sources familiar with the matter revealed that British officials are studying various meeting plans, including a meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly or a visit to Washington. The US Embassy in London has yet to respond in a timely manner to a request for comment.
