Relations between the UK and USA have soured after the leak of diplomatic cables from the UK's ambassador to the USA. The leaked memos were published in a British newspaper on Sunday. They contained highly negative and critical comments about President Trump's White House from Ambassador Kim Darroch. Mr Darroch wrote of the White House: "We don't really believe this administration is going to become substantially more normal; less dysfunctional; less unpredictable; less faction riven; less diplomatically clumsy and inept." He characterized Mr Trump's policy on Iran as "incoherent" and "chaotic". Sir Winston Churchill's grandson called the leak an act of "unforgivable treachery".

英国驻美国大使的外交电报泄露后，英美关系恶化。泄露的备忘录于周日发表在一家英国报纸上。大使金·达罗克对特朗普总统的白宫发表了高度负面和批评的评论。达罗克在谈到白宫时写道:“我们真的不相信本届政府会变得更加正常;更少的功能失调;更少的不可预测的;更少的派系分裂;在外交上少些笨拙和无能。”他将特朗普对伊朗的政策形容为“不连贯”和“混乱”。温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士的孙子称这次泄密是“不可原谅的背叛行为”。

The United States and the UK are traditionally strong partners on the international stage. They each describe their friendship as a "special relationship". The UK needs to nurture this friendship following its leaving the European Union after Brexit. It needs a trade deal with America. The United Kingdom's Prime Minister Theresa May said she had "full faith" in Sir Kim as ambassador but did not agree with his comments. Her spokesman described the leak as being "absolutely unacceptable". Donald Trump retaliated to the comments, saying Sir Kim "has not served the UK well." On Twitter, he wrote: "I do not know the Ambassador, but he is not liked or well thought of within the US. We will no longer deal with him."

美国和英国在国际舞台上历来是强有力的伙伴。他们每个人都把他们的友谊描述为一种“特殊的关系”。英国脱欧后退出欧盟，需要培育这种友谊。它需要与美国达成一项贸易协议。英国首相特蕾莎·梅(Theresa May)表示，她“完全信任”金爵士担任大使，但不同意他的言论。她的发言人表示，泄密是“绝对不可接受的”。唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)对这些言论进行了回击，称金正恩“没有很好地为英国服务”。他在推特上写道:“我不认识这位大使，但他在美国不受欢迎，也不受好评。我们再也不对付他了。”
