News Clarion synthesisAcross 2 sources

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham plans to visit the US in September to join European leaders in lobbying Donald Trump to increase military supplies to Ukraine, particularly Patriot missiles. The trip follows Burnham's visit to Kyiv for Ukraine's Independence Day, where he announced that the UK would share classified information on long-range SCALP missile components to help Ukraine assemble the weapons. Burnham stressed that while Britain did not use Patriot missiles, other European nations needed to contribute more support. The September visit would be his first to the US since becoming prime minister in July.
