Parappa09 07/07/19 11:48:03 AM #1:	The government has begun an inquiry into a leak of emails from the UK ambassador in Washington which deemed the Trump administration "inept". It comes after chairman of the foreign affairs select committee Tom Tugendhat said whoever was responsible must be prosecuted. The Foreign Office said the leak to the Mail on Sunday was "mischievous", but did not deny the accuracy of the memos. The White House has yet to respond to the memos' contents. In the messages, the UK's ambassador Sir Kim Darroch said the White House was "uniquely dysfunctional" and "divided" under Donald Trump. "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," he said. He questioned whether this White House "will ever look competent" but also warned the US president should not be written off. The job of the UK's ambassador is "to represent the interests and wishes of the British people" and not "the sensibilities of the United States", he said. Although Sir Kim said Mr 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 said. However, Justice Secretary David Gauke said it was very important that ambassadors gave "honest and unvarnished advice to their country". He said: "It is disgraceful that it's been leaked, but we should expect our ambassadors to tell the truth, as they see it." In a message sent last month, Sir Kim branded US policy on Iran as "incoherent, chaotic". Mr Trump's publicly stated reason for calling off an airstrike against Tehran with 10 minutes to go - that it would cause 150 casualties - "doesn't stand up", Sir Kim said. Instead, he suggested the president was "never fully on board" and did not want to reverse his campaign promise not to involve the US in foreign conflicts. To get through to the president, "you need to make your points simple, even blunt", he said. read full story here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48901624 --- http://error1355.com/ce/Parappa09.html <cite>Parappa09 posted [p:924361275] in leaked mem...

DeadBankerDream 07/07/19 1:12:01 PM #26:	Look at the dumbos in this thread who thinks "lol ur government isnt perfect!" is valid critique of an ambassador's criticism of the trump administration.
