Prime Minister May's office has reiterated her full support for Britain's ambassador to the United States after President Trump cut off contact with him following the leak of diplomatic cables. Trump also accused May of 'making a mess' of Brexit.
In this Friday, Oct. 20, 2017 photo, British Ambassador Kim Darroch hosts a National Economists Club event at the British Embassy in Washington. Leaked diplomatic cables published Sunday, July 7,2 019, in a British newspaper reveal that Britain's ambassador to the United States described President Donald Trump's administration as "clumsy and inept" while grappling with international problems.
As if to underscore the snub, Darroch found himself uninvited to a White House dinner held in honor of the Emir of Qatar on Monday. In a series of tweets, Trump said Darroch was “not liked or well thought of” in the U.S. and also attacked May, accusing her of “making a mess” of Britain’s departure from the European Union.
