Donald Trump has praised Prime Minister Andy Burnham after a phone call, saying "Andy is getting it done" following the government's approval of the Jackdaw gas field. Speaking outside the White House, Trump claimed Britain was opening up North Sea oil, though Jackdaw is a gas project. He contrasted Burnham with Keir Starmer. A decision on the separate Rosebank field remains pending, with challenges expected.
