00:00Donald Trump n'a pas attendu que le nouveau premier ministre britannique entre en poste pour lui adresser une pique.
00:10Andy Burnham doit succéder à Keir Starmer ce lundi 20 juillet,
00:14après avoir pris la tête du parti travailliste.
00:19Et une grande question qui anime le débat outre-manche est de savoir quelles relations il va entretenir avec Donald
00:25Trump.
00:39Âgé de 56 ans, Andy Burnham est l'ancien maire du Grand Manchester et l'une des personnalités politiques les
00:45plus populaires du Royaume-Uni.
00:47Il promet de se concentrer davantage sur la scène intérieure en prenant de grandes réformes, dont la décentralisation du pays.
00:53Mais il va devoir composer avec les mêmes défis que son prédécesseur, à savoir une croissance au ralenti et des
00:58finances publiques sous pression.
01:00Sauf que Keir Starmer n'a pas manqué de mettre en garde son successeur sur l'importance de la politique
01:05étrangère.
01:05Because there are those in your party, and you probably know this, who think that the next prime minister could
01:10spend less time on diplomacy than you have.
01:13You're saying pretty clearly that's not possible.
01:16No, I don't think it is possible.
01:17So this suggestion you could really, in the modern era, simply split up international and domestic.
01:25It just doesn't make sense. It isn't true. It isn't right.
01:28Keir Starmer avait d'abord ménagé Donald Trump.
01:31Il lui avait même offert une seconde visite d'État sans précédent.
01:35Mais leur relation s'est ensuite dégradée, notamment lorsqu'il a refusé l'utilisation des bases militaires britanniques par les
01:41troupes américaines lors de l'offensive contre l'Iran.
01:44C'est dans ce contexte que le président états-unien a adressé une pique à Andy Burnham avant même qu
01:49'il soit en poste.
01:50You mentioned that our prime minister has got one foot out the door. The new guys coming in, Andy Burnham.
01:55What do you know about him, Mr. President? And what does he need to do to improve the relationship between
01:59us?
01:59Yeah, you know about who? The new incoming prime minister, Andy Burnham. I don't know anything. I see that he
02:04was, I guess, the mayor of a town. I hear he's extremely liberal. Extremely.
02:11Andy Burnham n'a pas vraiment apprécié ce commentaire dédaigneux sur la ville de Manchester et promet d'être très
02:17direct avec le président républicain sans pour autant vouloir rompre avec les États-Unis.
02:22Obviously, our relationship with America is hugely important. How are you going to deal with Donald Trump?
02:28Maybe in a similar way to the way I've just described. I'll just meet him where he's at.
02:35And, you know, I like to think I've got some personality myself and I'll just, you know, I'll deal with
02:40him very upfront in the same way.
02:42I think he likes people to deal with him. He described Manchester as some town when he was referring to
02:51my perspective.
02:52You spoke to him yet at all? No, not yet. So that will come in the next few days. But,
02:59yeah, I, you know, it's about being yourself, isn't it?
03:03It's about respecting the office, the relationship, the UK-US relationship. But, you know, where you disagree, do it. But
03:11do it in a way that is kind of meeting him where he's at.
03:15I think it would be a bit of a challenge. It would be a challenge for anyone.
03:19Donald Trump compte mettre la pression sur un sujet de désaccord, le refus du Royaume-Uni d'augmenter les extractions
03:25de pétrole en mer du Nord.
03:27I hear he's extremely liberal. Extremely. So that means he probably won't open up the North Sea. You know, I
03:34gave, I gave Keir Starmer some pretty good advice.
03:38I said, open up the North Sea. The North Sea is loaded. I have had every oil company come to
03:45see me.
03:45Sir, could you give us access to the UK ? We would do anything to drill in the North Sea.
03:53And they haven't even found what's there.
03:55The amazing thing is they buy their oil from Norway, which gets the oil from the North Sea. Think of
04:00it. And they pay a big premium.
04:01Norway's got now $2 trillion in the bank. And the UK is dying.
04:07L'administration Trump a déjà averti que nommé Ed Miliband, qui est un des alliés clés d'Andy Burnham, comme
04:13ministre des Finances ou aux Affaires étrangères, serait une erreur car celui-ci s'oppose fermement au forage en mer
04:19du Nord.
04:20La formation du cabinet d'Andy Burnham va donc être particulièrement scrutée. Elle sera un premier signal envoyé à Donald
04:26Trump et pourrait en dire long sur leurs futures relations.
