The Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, is increasingly positioning his region on the global stage, raising questions about how international leaders, including U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, will engage with UK regional authorities. As devolution grants more autonomy to metropolitan areas, mayors are conducting independent international diplomacy to secure trade, investment, and green partnerships. Navigating these relationships with foreign leaders presents both economic opportunities and diplomatic challenges for regional administrations seeking to establish a global presence outside of traditional national channels.
- Andy Burnham is actively working to establish direct international relationships and trade links for Greater Manchester.
- The shifting political landscape in the United States, including the election of Donald Trump, presents new dynamics for UK regional investment strategies.
- Devolution has empowered UK metro mayors to bypass central government channels to promote local economic interests abroad.
- Key areas of international cooperation for regional leaders include technology, green energy transition, and direct foreign investment.
- Independent sub-national diplomacy requires careful coordination to avoid friction with official UK foreign policy.

What will they be making of him? They will be making bets on when he will resign.
Lets hear his actual policies and goals. Very little said about what he will do
Larry the cat barricaded the doors at Number 10 Downing street. they could hear Larry cry out NOT another one
Burnham reminds me of the Diana situation.
An event orchestrated by people of higher power for their own selfish gains at the detriment of the British public and the cause of further division.
Another communist puppet carrying out orders from the cabal.
Rather the MP have an ideology than have non. We least know that he has a plan and doesn’t want to continue the failures since Thatcher when white working class started to suffer into their current position.
Aingu 🇺🇸🇨🇳🤝👍beeldga doon sax
only thing that stay at nu 10 is the cat
Mincemeat….
Trump is a world leader now – when did he get accepted to the club?
250,000.

Is he up to it? I don’t know.

"Duly Elected" but not by the Electorate. We dont have a say as usual. Took him a year but he bagged the Starmer in the end.
I've got a bad feeling that he'll be even worse than Starmer, and that was already a low bar that was set. Just look at the mess he left behind in Manchester if you want clues as to what his policies will be.
Another joke from liebour he will be gone in a year Britain 🇬🇧 s now the laughing stock of the world
Kiers twin. Lol
Go Andy 🎉
World famous university=। World famous university name Moulana Mohammad Ali Johar University in Rampur Uttar Pradesh India
A nob like the last one
This is like crapping in your pants and just changing your shirt…. roll on the next election. let us see how popular a PM voted in with just 25,000 votes and wants to lead 70,000,000,000 gets on.
He'll be popular with China…🤔
trump will not like andy he will not bow down to trumps war atrocities he will not kiss the ring of oligarchy in america
Trump won’t even acknowledge him I bet
Trump will hate him because he only likes right wing.
Lammys new position is to empty Larry's litter tray
Andy Burnham is waiting outside Downing street with a wheelbarrow waiting to fill it with gifts from his new owners…
as a Dutcie, I really hope you guys can get out of this Brexit mess. Coz that's what's going on from some years now. Good luck. Hope Andy makes I different. But I don't think so. Rules are sttled. Wanna Chance the rules? Okay. Gonna cost you.
Elected by whom? They will ot have any time for him. He was not elected by the people.
I vote for Larry the cat. He has staying power lol.
Duly elected ? LOL, King Burnham was the only candidate – it was a coronation
Well sorry to remmembrer a fact but you fellas kinda 'promissed' to safe guard South America waters until 2030…..
He’s not going to think much of him if you see the state of Manchester these days😢
Here in Scandinavia on a clear day we can hear the Russians laugh their ass off at trump
They'll say "What? Another one? What is wrong with these people?" And "There's no point learning his name he'll be gone soon."
Absolutely disgusting. How can an unelected person become a leader of a nation. UK has become a dictatorial regime.
Outside the UK, this is barely getting covered. Now that the UK's economy is smaller than India's, the country is quickly becoming irrelevant to major global issues. Most international headlines are focusing on one thing: this is the UK's 7th PM in 10 years.
0:28 – I love how Trump doesn't know the meaning of the word 'liberal'. 😂🤣 Liberty, liberalism, to liberate, catching on yet?
Bbc is worried that how will their master (us) will treat their pm with respect or contempt
They will think he’s a total putz and shortimer, useless leader of a useless country.
