Keir Starmer Appoints Peter Mandelson as First Political Ambassador to US in Nearly 50 Years Amid Trump Presidency
Dec 19, 2024, 09:02 PM
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to appoint Lord Peter Mandelson as the new ambassador to the United States, marking the first political appointment to this role in nearly 50 years. Mandelson, a veteran Labour politician and former cabinet minister, is expected to play a crucial role in navigating the UK's relationship with the incoming Trump administration. His appointment is seen as a strategic move, leveraging his expertise in trade and political connections to avert potential trade conflicts with the US. Starmer's choice has sparked controversy due to Mandelson's past associations, including links to Jeffrey Epstein, which have raised concerns among some political commentators. The official announcement is anticipated to be made soon, with Mandelson's immediate priorities likely to include tariff liberalization and securing US investments.
