British prosecutors said on Friday they had decided to charge the wife of a US diplomat over a fatal car crash in England and to seek her extradition, a decision that “disappointed” Washington. She said she would not return voluntarily to face a potential jail sentence. Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said on Friday it would charge Ms Sacoolas with causing death by dangerous driving and had started legal proceedings. Mr Trump hoped to persuade them meet Ms Sacoolas, who was in the building at the same time, but they declined. Ms Sacoolas initially co-operated with local police after the crash, but later said she had diplomatic immunity.
