Trump Makes Undiplomatic Call for Farage to Be U.S. Envoy

In a striking breach of diplomatic protocol, President-elect Donald Trump has suggested Nigel Farage, the "Brexit" champion who has been one of Trump's most vocal foreign champions, should be made the United Kingdom's ambassador to the United States.

The apparently unprompted tweet has set off a firestorm in the U.K., throwing another wrench in the gears of Prime Minister Theresa May's attempts to rebuild the "special relationship" between Britain and the U.S. under Trump.
