President Trump says the UK's ambassador to the US 'has not served the UK well,' after the ambassador called Trump 'inept', 'insecure' and 'incompetent' in leaked diplomatic cables.
Washington President Donald Trump said Sunday the United Kingdom's ambassador to the United States"has not served the UK well," after the ambassador called Trump"inept" and"incompetent" in leaked diplomatic cables.
Cables sent from the ambassador, Kim Darroch, back to London describe Trump as"inept,""insecure" and"incompetent," a UK government official confirmed to CNN. The cables were leaked to and first published by the Daily Mail.
