For those who have said they don’t trust Johnson, this is some evidence he is the real deal.
Why would he rule it out?
Why hasn’t it happened yet? I thought diplomats were supposed to be diplomatic. He couldn’t even manage that.
Who’d want an ambassador who’s on the president’s s-list? How does that help Britain?
A gotcha question. The question was to put BJ in a corner. If he said he would fire the idiot he would be called cow towing to Trump by not answering he looked like he ducked the question.
Can’t the USA declare a diplomat unacceptable (persona non grata) and require him to leave? Why hasn’t this happened?
Good for Borris
I don’t want the ambassador in my country. Send him home!
Why would Johnson fire him? He’d be perfect for that little consulate in Benghazi.
So Boris Johnson openly acknowledges that he is not stupid. How shocking. I guess a lot of Brits aren’t interested in that trade deal after all (or in actual diplomacy). Jeremy Hunt would be another failure in the Cameron and May mold.
He also refuses to say that he'll replace him after his insulting comments about the President.
Doesn’t matter any more. The guy just resigned.
This point is moot now, as the ambassador seems to have resigned ...
