WASHINGTON D.C.: US President Donald Trump hit back on Sunday and the UK launched an inquiry after leaked memos revealed Britain’s ambassador in the US had described the president and his White House as “inept” and “uniquely dysfunctional”. Trump said Ambassador Kim Darroch had “not served the UK well” and that he and his administration were “not big fans” of the envoy. He reportedly wrote that the “vicious infighting and chaos” inside the White House — widely reported in the US but dismissed by Trump as “fake news” — was “mostly true”. Asked about the leak, Trump told reporters in the US: “The ambassador has not served the UK well, I can tell you that. So I can understand it, and I can say things about him but I won’t bother.”The UK foreign ministry said it would carry out a formal investigation into the leak.
