Why is Lord Mandelson the 'best choice' to deal with Trump?

Lord Mandelson is the "best choice" to take on the US ambassador role and smooth relations between the UK and US, Lord Darroch has told Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips. Lord Darroch, who did the same US ambassador job between 2016 and 2019, said Lord Mandelson was a "very experienced politician". He gave him some advice on how to deal with the new President, including handling Trump's 5am social media posts. Lord Mandelson, a former Labour MP and spin doctor, has taken on the role at a crucial time for UK and US relations with the threat of heavy trade tariffs looming. #donaldtrump #skynews #ukpolitics SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ Sky News videos are now available in Spanish here/Los video de Sky News están disponibles en español aquí: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzG5BnqHO8oNlrPDW9CYJog To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
