U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with the United Kingdom's new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, in a phone call on Tuesday. The brief conversation occurred shortly after Burnham's official appointment to the prime ministerial office.
Details of the call's specific discussion points were not immediately released. The call marks the first direct communication between the two leaders since Burnham assumed leadership of the UK government.
Burnham's appointment as Prime Minister followed a recent political transition in the United Kingdom. His administration is expected to outline its policy priorities in the coming weeks.
