He also stated he will ‘no longer be dealing’ with the UK’s current ambassador for the US.
Shots fired, you guys! Trump is on the insulting warpath again, and this time some high ranking UK government members are in his line of sight.
While Theresa May is currently in the middle of clearing out her desk drawers, simply minding the shop until her replacement is formally announced, US President Donald Trump decided to kick her while she’s down and on the way out, throwing in the boot to the currently appointed US ambassador for good measure.
Sir Kim Darroch has held the position since 2016, having also previously worked with Barack Obama and David Cameron, but Trump states that nobody in America likes him (ouch!), so he doesn’t want to deal with him anymore.
Darroch was due to leave the post anyway this December, but a number of leaked emails from Darroch showed that he didn’t think much of Trump’s administration, so we feel there is no real love lost there.
Trump took to Twitter (where else?) to take some shots at the soon-to-be-former PM:
“I have been very critical about the way the U.K. and Prime Minister Theresa May handled Brexit. What a mess she and her representatives have created. I told her how it should be done, but she decided to go another way. I do not know the Ambassador, but he is not liked or well thought of within the U.S.
“We will no longer deal with him. The good news for the wonderful United Kingdom is that they will soon have a new Prime Minister. While I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent State Visit last month, it was the Queen who I was most impressed with!”
We’re sure Queen Elizabeth II will be absolutely over the moon with that news.
….thought of within the U.S. We will no longer deal with him. The good news for the wonderful United Kingdom is that they will soon have a new Prime Minister. While I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent State Visit last month, it was the Queen who I was most impressed with!
