Kim Darroch's Fall from Grace Casts Chill over Washington Ambassadors

THE GUARDIAN: Fellow envoys say they have made similar observations about the Trump administration and deplore the lack of support from Boris Johnson for their UK counterpart

It was like a tennis match with an empty umpire’s chair. On Friday, the British ambassador’s residence in Washington hosted a Wimbledon Watch Party and English Breakfast, with two giant TV screens showing the men’s semi-final. In the ballroom there were bacon and eggs, orange juice and buck’s fizz and, of course, strawberries and cream. But there was no ambassador.

Kim Darroch had left for a planned holiday a day early, officials said, after a “rough week” in which his leaked memos led to abuse from Donald Trump and his resignation, though the ambassador does intend to return for an unspecified period. The embassy considered cancelling the annual Wimbledon event but a mood of “keep calm and carry on” prevailed, not least because of Darroch’s love of tennis. » | David Smith in Washington | Saturday, July 13, 2019

Why Is Washington Closing the PLO's Office? – Inside Story

Over the past 50 years since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, there have been countless talks, negotiations and UN resolutions. And the Palestinian Liberation Organization has been at the forefront of peace talks over the years. But now, Donald Trump's administration says it will shut down the PLO's office in Washington D.C. That's in response to Palestinian efforts to raise the issue of Israel's occupation at the International Criminal Court.

If the U.S. goes ahead with its plans, Palestinians say they will end all communication with Washington. But what will this move mean for Trump's Middle East peace plan?

"I Could Have Died": Protesters Detail Violent Attack by Turkish President Erdogan's Guards in Washington DC

Last week Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s security detail assaulted a group of peaceful protesters outside the Turkish ambassador’s residence. Video from the scene shows Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan looking on during the assault. It’s not clear if Erdogan gave the order for the attack. The assault came shortly after Erdogan was welcomed to the White House by President Trump. For more, we speak with Seyid Riza Dersimi, who was violently attacked during the protest and rushed by ambulance to the hospital, where he received stitches on his nose and was treated for a head injury. We also speak with Ruken Isik, a Kurdish activist and Ph.D. student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. She attended last week’s protest and wrote a piece for The Huffington Post titled "Will Erdogan’s Thugs Face No Consequences for Attacking Us on U.S. Soil?"

Trump vante la "relation spéciale" entre Washington et Londres

LE POINT: Le président américain et Theresa May, en visite aux États-Unis, ont un point commun : "la volonté de donner la priorité aux intérêts des travailleurs ordinaires"

Voilà qui va faire plaisir aux dirigeants européens. Le départ des Britanniques de l'Union européenne va donner une "identité" au Royaume-Uni, a estimé vendredi le président américain Donald Trump lors d'une conférence de presse commune à Washington avec la Première ministre britannique. "L'une des choses que nous avons en commun est la volonté de donner la priorité aux intérêts des travailleurs ordinaires", a de son côté souligné May, félicitant le magnat de l'immobilier pour sa victoire.

"Je pense que nous allons très bien nous entendre", a lancé quant à lui Trump, plutôt en retrait, qui faisait ses début sur la scène diplomatique internationale en recevant pour la première un dirigeant étranger. Le président républicain, qui avait personnellement accueilli May, toute de rouge vêtue, à son arrivée à la Maison Blanche, a accepté une invitation de la reine Elizabeth II à se rendre au Royaume-Uni dans l'année. » | Source AFP | vendredi, le 27 janvier 2017

Washington Frets Over 'Distracted' Little Britain

Prime Minister David Cameron and U.S. president Barack Obama

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Relief at a clear election victory for David Cameron is undermined by the prospect of a Britain distracted by EU membership referendum and another Scottish vote

David Cameron’s surprise election victory was greeted with mixed feelings in Washington yesterday as relief over a clear-cut outcome was tempered by worries about the stability of the UK and the prospect of a divisive EU referendum.

Officially, Barack Obama congratulated the prime minister on his “impressive victory”, issuing a statement promising to continue to “strengthen the bonds between our countries, as we work together on behalf of global peace, security and prosperity”.

Behind the scenes however, officials conceded that the prospect of the EU membership vote in 2017 and a resurgence of Scottish demands for independence risked weakening Britain’s ability to deliver on its side of the so-called special relationship. » | Peter Foster, Washington | Friday, May 08, 2015
