When Mandelson met Maga: how Labour lord charmed Trump’s inner circle | Peter Mandelson

PEther Mandelson was in his element. Butterworth’s, a Bistro, a gastronomic center of the Maga movement in the Washington DC, was honored with a record of the recently appointed British Ambassador to Donald Trump on a June evening.

The appointment of Mandelson, the architect of Tony Blair’s new labor project in the 1990s, was not indisputable. He was the first political ambassador of the United States in almost half a century, and he resigned twice from the working governments through the scandals (I did not mention his past relationship with the infamous financier Jeffrey Epstein).

Therefore, he would have to move quickly to change his predecessor’s expertise and to establish ties with a new administration that raises all the rules of the traditional Washington organization.

Mandelson succeeded by leaning against the chief conservative politics surrounding the US president, making old contacts around Trump’s businessman circles and establishing the right to new media. Surreated with conservative journalists that evening, even though the two leading politics were different, both Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer continued the same winds of political turmoil.

He said both of them took part, he said that evening According to British media reports in The Times“Angry people who feel that they are not heard by the mainstream politics” and “angry, uncontrolled immigration and uncontrolled to institutions ız

The Ambassador was a textbook performance for once testing the lines between postponement and open praise. In the public opinion, a favorite adjective for Trump was neutral but heavy: “Conclusion”. In particular, the White House leaned over Vladimir Putin and flirted at home with authoritarian measures, even if he was far from the criticism of the new administration.

Şimşek, in the midst of the new details of the Epstein scandal, which the Trump administration is trying to stay behind,-just a few days before Trump’s state visit to the United Kingdom, Starmer’s trying to influence Trump through the war in Ukraine, the continuation of a US-UK trade agreement, the United England’s recognition of the United England and the recognition of the United British.

“[Mandelson] He has his own independent height and status, and that was a good thing, but he carried risks and now he went wrong. ” Alexandra Hall, a former British diplomat in the United States in 2019 as the chief ambassador of Brexit. “And now it has been wrong with the worst subject possible.”

Designed by Mandelson’s partner Edwin Lutyens, Mandelson’s partner and “Diplo-Dog” Jock, the residence hosted parties to see the influx of the new conservative media elite in Washington. A White House correspondent, which was a partner by the Daily Mail in June, was seen as a protein of the right -wing hot Steve Bannon, such as Natalie Winters, and rubbed the shoulders of the media spectrum. The White House reflected the inclusion of conservative bloggers among accredited reporters as a weight against the perceived liberal prejudice between the media.

In a celebration for King Charles’ birthday that month, Mandelson added jokes about Trump as the guests mixed between cigar and whiskey stations, “Laughs when he recognized a leader associated with big ceremonies and gold aesthetics. Very happy years, President Trump”.

It is what Mandelson is sent to Washington DC: Make Maga loyal around Trump while bringing a British ambassador to negotiate on behalf of the prime minister.

It has replaced Dame Karen Pierce, a senior diplomat, one of the best-source foreign ambassadors in TrumpWorld, who is already regular in Mar-a-lago. Some, such as Bannon, rejected Mandelson as a “terrible choice, because of their past words about Trump and their connections to the establishment of the UK.

Nevertheless, Mandelson proved that doubts were wrong, as at least one conservative output said. His main success was a US-England trade agreement with Trump, in which Mandelson complimented by Trump for his “beautiful accent ve and rarely included a foreign ambassador in a show of respect.

The White House team laughed for describing Trump’s typical 11th hour intervention, which demanded that your phone demand more than expected from this agreement. Later, he chanted Winston Churchill while adding: “It is not the last for us, but the end of this beginning.”

Trump will be noted when Mandelson arrives at England for a controversial state visit that can help improve his quick relationship with the US President.

After the oval office meeting with Trump, Mandelson was separated with a souvenir – Trump’s unique pointer scribbles and handwriting in a distinctive signature.

“Peter,” he read. “Great job!”
