2. Britain’s ambassador to the U.S., Kim Darroch, is stepping down, a casualty of the furor over leaked memos in which he described the Trump administration as “clumsy and inept.”

The memos elicited a furious reaction from President Trump. Some British lawmakers were no less furious when Boris Johnson, the likely next British prime minister, pointedly declined to support the ambassador.

But Mr. Darroch, pictured above in 2017, did get support from his fellow ambassadors. Those we spoke with uniformly said they had written the same things to their home offices. “Yes, yes, everyone does,” said a recently retired French ambassador.
