UK Ambassador to US Quits After Leaked Cables Enrage Trump

LONDON (AP) — Britain’s ambassador to the United States has resigned after being called a fool and made a diplomatic nobody by President Donald Trump. Ambassador Kim Darroch stepped down Wednesday, days after a British newspaper published leaked diplomatic cables expressing the envoy’s dim views of the Trump administration. Darroch had been set to retire at the end of the year. It’s unclear if Prime Minister Theresa May will have time to name a replacement before she leaves office herself later this month.
