Donald Trump publicly rebuked UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for appointing former EU trade chief Peter Mandelson as Britain’s ambassador to Washington despite Mandelson’s documented ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and alleged breaches of security, calling the choice a “bad pick” and saying Starmer “exercised wrong judgement.” Mandelson, whose clearance was overridden by the Foreign Office, was later dismissed after a US House committee revealed he had maintained contact with Epstein after the financier’s 2008 conviction, and he is now under police investigation in the UK for allegedly passing sensitive information to Epstein. Starmer, who selected Mandelson in December 2024 for his elite connections as a strategy ahead of a U.S.–U.K. trade deal, faces a leadership challenge amid declining Labour support, while Trump—who was a longtime friend of Epstein—has threatened to walk away from the trade agreement and has intensified attacks on Starmer over foreign‑policy disagreements, notably the latter’s refusal to join Trump’s war on Iran.
