Andy Burnham has said the results of the US midterm elections meant there was an "opportunity now to unite around the issue that is affecting us all, and that's the cost of living".
Speaking to broadcasters from the Commonwealth leaders summit, the prime minister promised to push for a resolution to the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine in the wake of the US elections that saw Donald Trump's Republicans suffer heavy losses.
He said he couldn't ease cost of living pressures until the US's conflict in Iran had been resolved.
Responding to the midterm results, the US president acknowledged that rising fuel prices - caused by the Iran war - had played a part in his party's defeats.
Speaking to Fox News, President Trump said: "People agree with what I'm doing on Iran but they really probably weren't willing to do the short term consequences of paying more for gasoline - I understand that."
Giving his reaction to the results, Burnham said the voters in the US have said they want to "see the world coming together and focusing on the things that matter to people".
