United Kingdom

Description

C.J. parries briefing room barrage as United Kingdom's ambassadorial gambit stumbles: newly named envoy lags in protocol's arrival vise, Anthony Brass withdraws abruptly, Sir Christopher succumbs to illness—shifting diplomatic momentum to Thailand's Sumatra, Sweden's Peter Hans, Argentina's Renee Ernesto, Burkina Faso's Noah Jolla. This sovereign engine drives bilateral envoy credentials, nominee flux under health and choice crosswinds, forging transatlantic suspense amid White House ritual rigidity.
