Reports discuss the prospects for Mayor Andy Burnham to secure a positive relationship with US President Donald Trump after their first face-to-face meeting, which outlets describe as going “fine.” Commentators argue that Burnham’s efforts may still focus on finding a path to win further favor with the president, with one proposed mechanism centred on a project or initiative referred to as “jackdaw.”

In the coverage available here, the emphasis is on interpretation and strategy rather than on new, verifiable developments following the meeting.
