British Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed Friday the appointment of veteran Labour politician Peter Mandelson, a former minister and EU trade commissioner, as the next ambassador to the United States.

“The United States is one of our most important allies and as we move into a new chapter in our friendship, Peter will bring unrivalled experience to the role and take our partnership from strength to strength,” Starmer said in a statement. Mandelson will be taking up his post as Donald Trump returns to the White House.
