Top UK diplomat in USA criticizes Trump in leaked memos 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy the Associated PressLONDON — Leaked diplomatic cables reveal that Britain’s ambassador to the United States regards President Donald Trump’s administration as inept, hobbled by infighting, and unlikely to improve. Britain’s Foreign Office did not challenge the authenticity of the leaked documents. The ambassador said he did not believe Trump’s public explanation for calling off a planned military strike against Iran last month. Darroch’s views may lead to some awkwardness, especially since Trump said shortly after his election in 2016 that Brexiteer Nigel Farage would make an excellent British ambassador to the United States.
