The Guardian's Politics Weekly UK hosts discuss whether Andy Burnham could achieve a 'Mamdani effect' ahead of the New York talks.
According to The Guardian's Politics Weekly UK podcast, the UK prime minister is set to meet US President Donald Trump in person for the first time in New York on Tuesday.
Hosts Pippa and Kiran discuss what the two leaders might address in policy terms, along with potentially high-risk issues, and consider whether Manchester mayor Andy Burnham could produce a "Mamdani effect" in dealings with Trump, whom the Guardian noted is currently at his weakest point in opinion polls.
