A U.K. newspaper has published more leaked memos revealing a British ambassador’s blunt assessments of the Trump administration, including one in which the envoy to Washington claimed President Donald Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal to spite predecessor Barack Obama.
In the May 2018 cable published by the Mail on Sunday, U.K. Ambassador Kim Darroch called Trump’s decision to abandon the international accord “an act of diplomatic vandalism, seemingly for ideological and personality reasons” because the pact “was Obama’s deal.”
Darroch wrote the memo after then-Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson visited Washington in a failed attempt to persuade the United States not to abandon the 2015 nuclear agreement.
He alleged the White House had no strategy for what would come after its withdrawal and “no sort of plan for reaching out to partners and allies.”

American europhile conservatives still believe British Conservative Party is a loyal ally, even though the good old Tory has become progressive-wannabe.
What’s a “europhile conservative”?
Pro-EU Red Tories were a big problem during Thatcher’s prime ministership; her warnings about the EU made them turn on her. Think of them as Britain’s RINOs.
INSTEX ain’t working out the way the EU and Iran thought it would and the EU and Iran are getting cranky.
Fake News! He did it to protect the US. She’s a lyin’ SOS.

“Now that’s a face to stop me assuming gender.”
If Tea Leoni was an ugly guy.
That actually explains a great deal!! LOL!
Darroch was probably part of the Deep State coup attempt.
Putting billions in currency on planes and flying them to Tehran and other EU cities (hidden slush funds) in the middle of the night and not getting congress and the voters to sign off was treason.
Great Britain is also complicit in the coup attempt against the President. We care what their ambassadors say because . . . . ?
“seemingly for ideological”
Well, Duh!
The deal had nothing good in it for the US and had everything good in it for Iran. What is the sense of having such a deal? WHy have a deal with an enemy of our nation? the Ideology is that you’re our enemy and you shouldn’t benefit from us, at all. End of story.
Iran never signed
Congress never ratified
There is NO Iran Deal

Don’t know how red they were if red Tories did exist in Thatcher era.
But now the red Tory has become a part of the mainstream of British Conservative Party. It makes the Tory government hold ideological hostility towards Trump.
