Trump administration inept and insecure: UK Ambassador

London: In leaked emails, the UK’s Ambassador to Washington Kim Darroch labelled American President Donald Trump’s administration as “inept, insecure and incompetent”, a media report said on Sunday.
In the leak of the memos to the Mail on Sunday, Darroch 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,” the BBC reported.
He questioned whether the White House “will ever look competent”, adding that it was “uniquely dysfunctional” and “divided” under Trump.
He also warned that the US President should not be written off.
Although Darroch said Trump was “dazzled” by his state visit to the UK in June, the Ambassador warned that his administration will remain self-interested, adding: “This is still the land of America First”.
Differences between the US and the UK on climate change, media freedoms and the death penalty might come to the fore as the countries seek to improve trading relations after Brexit, the memos showed.
