British ambassador to US resigning over Trump criticism
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBritain’s Foreign Office says UK Ambassador to the US Kim Darroch has resigned after diplomatic cables criticizing Trump were leaked.
The leaked memos revealed Britain’s ambassador had described the president and his White House as “inept” and “uniquely dysfunctional.”
Trump has raged over the revelations, and has lashed out at both Darroch and British Prime Minister Theresa May.
“The current situation is making it impossible for me to carry out my role as I would like,” Darroch writes in his resignation letter. “I believe in the current circumstances the responsible course is to allow the appointment of a new ambassador.”
