Peter Mandelson is set to become Britain’s next ambassador to the US, the first time a politician has been appointed to the role for almost half a century.
Keir Starmer is about to announce that Lord Mandelson, a former Labour minister and European commissioner for trade, has been given the role. The Guardian understands he will take over as Donald Trump begins his second term as president.
The news comes as the UK prepares for challenging changes in trade relations with the US under the president-elect. The prime minister’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeeny, travelled to Washington for talks with Trump’s incoming White House team earlier this month.
The prime minister believes that Mandelson, a former Labour MP who now sits in the House of Lords, has the trade expertise and networking abilities to bolster the UK’s interests during this “delicate period” for its relationship with the US, according to the Times.
