Donald Trump Appoints Mark Burnett as Special Envoy to the UK
Donald Trump has appointed television producer Mark Burnett, known for creating ‘The Apprentice,’ as the Special Envoy to the United Kingdom. Trump praised Burnett’s career and expressed that his unique skills would be beneficial for the role, which aims to enhance trade, cultural exchange, and investments. This choice raises questions about the lack of typical diplomatic experience and the unclear relationship between Burnett’s role and that of the regular ambassador. The announcement reflects Trump’s tendency to select high-profile figures with limited governance experience for key positions.
