Britain’s prime minister said the world now has time to focus on resolving the war against Iran and reducing the cost of living after the results of the US mid-term elections.
“I think that’s what the voters in the United States are saying,” British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said in an interview with Sky News on Wednesday evening. “The world now has an opportunity to focus on resolving the war against Iran and reducing the cost of living after the results of the US mid-term elections.”
Burnham also said American voters say they want to see “the world coming together and focusing on things that matter to people.”
“President Trump has accepted the results and I feel the world now has an opportunity to unite around an issue that affects us all, which is the cost of living,” the British prime minister said when asked if his reaction to the US mid-term election results made him more unpredictable.
In this regard, he added: “This has been a matter that I have prioritized in the first three months of my presence in Downing Street and we have taken measures, but until the conflict in the Middle East is not resolved, I cannot reduce the pressures on the cost of living of the people.”
Andy Burnham also said about the war in Ukraine: “The conflict in Ukraine is another matter. “These are the things we need to focus on now, and I hope the world has an opportunity to do that, and certainly in my contacts with leaders, that’s what I’m asking everyone to do.”
Asked if he was worried about the escalation of tensions in the Middle East after the results of the US midterm elections, Burnham said: “I will try to de-escalate the tension to make it very clear. You know, we want to see a solution and the Strait of Hormuz fully open again. This is what we will strive for.”
It is worth noting that, while accepting the result of the US mid-term elections and the defeat of the Republicans in Congress, Donald Trump reacted with the word “veto” and apparently intends to confront the Democrats by vetoing future decisions.
