UK gets first ever female ambassador to US
Boris Johnson has appointed the UK’s first ever female ambassador to the United States.
The announcement comes at a critical time for the UK’s relationship with Washington, as Mr Johnson seeks to secure a lucrative post-Brexit trade deal with the US. “We have a fantastic cross-government team across the US and I look forward to working with them to strengthen and even further deepen the special relationship between our two countries and peoples.”
In the leaked correspondence, Sir Kim said: “We don’t really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal; less dysfunctional; less unpredictable; less faction-riven; less diplomatically clumsy and inept.”His decision to quit was reportedly prompted by Mr Johnson’s failure to support him in a live TV debate during the Conservative leadership contest.
