️🇺🇸🇬🇧 ⁠Bloomberg: US President Donald Trump said he spoke with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham on Friday, as tensions between Washington and London rise over Russia's war in Ukraine and the prospect of renewed US military action against Iran.

Trump said that the two discussed Britain's plans to revive a gas field in the North Sea, and claimed that the move "is going to make Britain a very rich country." He added that they discussed international conflicts only "very lightly".

British officials are reportedly worried that Trump could launch a new attack on Iran after next month's US midterm elections, potentially disrupting energy supplies and boosting inflation. London is urging Washington to seek a diplomatic solution, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
