Trump's war with Iran seen making next month's UK budget harder, minister says
Bridget Phillipson downplayed concerns over PM Andy Burnham's past remarks about Trump ahead of a planned UN meeting.
Next month's UK budget will be made more difficult by Donald Trump's war with Iran, cabinet minister Bridget Phillipson said, according to the Guardian.
Phillipson said she did not expect Prime Minister Andy Burnham's previous disparaging comments about Trump to be an issue. Burnham is expected to meet Trump early next week at the UN General Assembly summit in New York, the two having already spoken twice by phone since Burnham took office, the Guardian reported.
