President Trump criticized Britain's ambassador to the U.S. Sunday, as the British government launched an inquiry into leaked cables reportedly showing he called the president and his administration "inept" and "incompetent," the BBC reports.
What they're saying: Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who's battling Boris Johnson to replace outgoing U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May as Conservative Party leader, said the memos reflect ambassador Kim Darroch's "personal view," not that of Britain's government, according to the BBC. Trump said Darroch "has not served the U.K. well."
Pres. Trump: "We've had our little ins & outs with a couple of countries, & I would say that the UK & the ambassador has not served the UK well, I can tell you that. We're not big fans of that man & he has not served the UK well... I can say things about him but I won't bother." pic.twitter.com/Kwyhsv9Eea
