Andy Burnham is heading to the US to beg Trump for more Patriot missiles

Original version ·

The UK Prime Minister is turning into a full-time lobbyist to keep the lights on in Ukraine this winter.

Andy Burnham is planning a trip to New York, and he is bringing a shopping list. The goal is to corner Donald Trump and convince him to unlock the stash of Patriot interceptor missiles before the temperature drops.

The plan is simple: get the Coalition of the Willing back together on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Britain doesn't even use these missiles, but Burnham is counting on peer pressure to make other European countries cough up their supplies. It is basically a high-stakes group project where everyone is hoping the United States will do the heavy lifting.

Trying to convince the Trump administration to give away military gear for free is a bold strategy, especially when it involves international diplomacy in New York.

    I'll believe it when I see the missiles actually arrive. Good luck with that convo, Andy.
