Incoming British Prime Minister Andy Burnham delivered a speech to the nation following his formal appointment to the position by King Charles. In his speech, he said he would advance a 10-year economic plan during the year and would present measures to ease the cost of living starting tomorrow. He added that the first foreign leaders he would contact would be U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He later clarified that there would be no change in British support for Ukraine and that he would tell Zelenskyy this. Burnham, who became Britain's seventh prime minister in a decade, did not address Israel in his speech.
