Milan, November 4 (askanews) – British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said that the Republican Party's defeat in the US midterm elections should prompt the world to "come together" to address the cost of living, fueled by conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. Democrats have dealt Donald Trump and his Republican Party a historic defeat, regaining control of the US Congress following Tuesday's midterm elections. "President Trump has accepted the results," he said, "and I believe the world now has the opportunity to come together around an issue that affects us all: the cost of living.
This has been the focus of my first three months in Downing Street, and we've already taken some steps. However, the cost of living pressures cannot be alleviated until the conflict in the Middle East and the conflict in Ukraine, sparked by Russia, are resolved. These are the issues we must focus on now.
