UK's Keir Starmer names business adviser Chandra as special envoy to US – The Economic Times


A new envoy, Chandra, has been appointed to lead efforts within the UK government aimed at strengthening economic interests in the United States and promoting trade and investment between the two nations. This appointment occurs at a time of notable tensions between Britain and the U.S. These strains stem from President Donald Trump’s actions regarding Greenland, his remarks about NATO troops in Afghanistan, and his “Board of Peace” initiative.
