Minister has ‘every confidence’ US will approve Mandelson

Cabinet minister Darren Jones says he has “every confidence” that Lord Peter Mandelson's appointment as UK ambassador to the US will be approved by Donald Trump's team.

There were reports in a number of newspapers on Sunday that the Trump administration could be considering not granting approval to Lord Mandelson's new position.

The chief secretary to the Treasury also distances the government from comments made by Sir Sadiq Khan where the Mayor of London warned over 'resurgent fascism' ahead of Trump’s inauguration.

Trump’s Shocking Pro-Putin Move Stuns Zelensky, EU; To End US Role in Putin War Crimes Investigation

Trump administration is pulling the U.S. out of an international group investigating Russian President Vladimir Putin for war crimes in Ukraine. The move, expected to be officially announced on March 17, has alarmed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders, who see it as a concession to Moscow. The U.S. will also scale back its War Crimes Accountability Team and halt key foreign aid programs related to Ukraine. This decision underscores Trump's efforts to restore ties with Russia while weakening international efforts to hold Putin accountable. #Trump #Putin #WarCrimes #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineWar #PutinWarCrimes #TrumpPutin #Zelensky #ICC #WarCrimesTribunal #PutinArrestWarrant #UkraineNews #RussiaWarCrimes #TrumpRussia #UkraineCrisis Also Read Russian Prez Putin Praises PM Modi, Donald Trump For Efforts To End War With Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russian-prez-putin-praises-pm-modi-donald-trump-for-efforts-to-end-war-with-ukraine-4094813.html?ref=DMDesc Trump’s Trump Card: How A Putin Bromance Is Reshaping the World :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-trump-card-how-a-putin-bromance-is-reshaping-the-world-4080695.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Threatens Putin With Sanctions, Tariffs On Russia If Ukraine War Doesn't Come To An End :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-threatens-putin-with-sanctions-tariffs-on-russia-if-ukraine-war-doesnt-come-to-an-end-4050181.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.97~GR.152~GR.125~
