We Speak to Lord Mandelson (New UK Ambassador to US)

A conversation on day one of the job

On his first day in the role, Lord Mandelson talks to Americast about how the UK will handle Donald Trump.

In his conversation with Sarah, Britain’s new U.S. Ambassador explains why the UK needs to respect Trump’s “strong and clear mandate for change”.

Given President Trump’s fast moving and radical agenda, what kind of approach should the UK be taking, and will the ‘special relationship’ continue?
