UK Ambassador Peter Mandelson gave an awkward response when questioned about Donald Trump's false claim that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is a "dictator." Mandelson described Trump's speech as "very interesting" and redirected the conversation to mention Sir Keir Starmer's upcoming visit to the White House. This occurred at a Saudi-backed conference in Miami. Mandelson had previously criticized Trump but retracted those comments before his appointment as ambassador.
