LORD Peter Mandelson's U-turn on Trump comments
Lord Peter Mandelson has publicly admitted that he was mistaken in branding former US President Donald Trump as "a danger to the world." The statement comes as a sharp reversal from his previous stance in 2019 and follows his appointment as the UK ambassador to the US by Sir Keir Starmer.
Attempt to mend ties with Trump's inner circle
Mandelson's change of heart is seen as an effort to mend ties with Mr. Trump's inner circle, who reportedly reacted with displeasure to his appointment. In a recent interview, Mandelson expressed regret over his past comments, stating, "I consider my remarks about President Trump as ill-judged and wrong."
Optimism about the future relationship
Despite the initial backlash, Mandelson remains optimistic about his appointment and the potential relationship with the US administration. He emphasized that he has received no negative feedback from President Trump or the White House, indicating confidence in a smooth transition.
Praise for Trump's global approach
In a surprising turn, Lord Mandelson also praised Trump's global approach and predicted that he could be remembered as one of the most influential American presidents in recent history. He highlighted the importance of collaboration between the US and the UK in addressing challenges posed by China.
