Pro-Brexit politician Liam Fox could be Britain's next ambassador to Washington

A colorful pro-Brexit Scottish politician who is said to have once dated pop star Natalie Imbruglia and who has spent well over a decade forging ties with Washington conservatives is among those being considered to be Britain’s next ambassador to the United States.

Liam Fox, 57, Britain’s secretary of state for trade and industry, is a prominent pro-Brexit figure. After the resignation of Kim Darroch over leaked cables describing President Trump as “inept,” the next ambassador will need a deep understanding of British trade and the contacts book to jump start negotiations on a post-Brexit transatlantic deal.
