Kim Darroch resigns as UK ambassador to US after Trump cable furore
Kim Darroch resigned as UK ambassador to the US after his memos characterising US President Donald Trump and his administration as"inept" and"dysfunctional" were leaked.
Memos from Kim Darroch were leaked to a British Sunday newspaper, infuriating Trump who launched a stinging Twitter attack on both the envoy and British Prime Minister Theresa May who had given him her full support. "I want to put an end to that speculation," he added. " The current situation is making it impossible for me to carry out my role as I would like."
