Britain's ambassador to US, Kim Darroch, resigns amid Trump spat
Britain's ambassador to the United States resigned Wednesday amid a dispute over the diplomat's leaked emails that were critical of President Donald Trump.
Kim Darroch, 65, said he was resigning to put an end to speculation surrounding how long he would stay on as Britain's envoy in Washington after diplomatic cables he sent back to London described the Trump administration as "inept" and "chaotic."
The leaks brought a fierce backlash from Trump, who branded Darroch "wacky," "incompetent" and a "very stupid guy."
The administration made it clear that Darroch was an unwelcome presence in Washington and that it would effectively boycott his participation in meetings.
British Prime Minister Theresa May, who will stand down July 23, suggested that Darroch should stay in the role.
His tenure in Britain's most important diplomatic post was due to end in early 2020.
"The current situation is making it impossible for me to carry out my role as I would like," Darroch wrote in his resignation letter to the head of Britain's foreign civil service.
