Britain’s PM Sees a Way to Get the Dude Back
Boris Johnson Calls on Trump to Let a US Diplomat’s Wife Return
In a mash‑up of diplomatic drama and a tragic road crash, Boris Johnson sliced through the political noise and asked President Donald Trump to reconsider a decision about diplomatic immunity.
- Who’s in the line of fire? The wife of a US diplomat, Anne Sacoolas, was involved in a fatal car accident that claimed the life of Harry Dunn, a 19‑year‑old from the UK.
- Where did the mishap happen? Near RAF Croughton, a central England airbase that’s a favourite for the United States.
- Why the buzz? Because the US seemed set on letting the diplomat’s wife ride the shield of diplomatic immunity and leave the country swiftly.
During a short but huge‑impact phone call, Johnson said he was hoping that Anne would volunteer to come back to Britain, work with the police, and help bring justice for the Dunn family.
Trump’s Take at the White House
While standing beside the Oval Office’s iconic golden doors, Trump let reporters know he’s planning a conversation with Anne and the driver:
“It was a terrible accident. We’re going to speak to her and we’re going to see the person driving the car, the wife of the diplomat… We’re going to see what we can come up with so that there can be some healing.” – Donald Trump
Family Frustration Persists
Despite the PM’s flag‑raising, Charlotte Charles, Harry’s mother, slammed the pace over at the weeks:
“Part of me is feeling like it was just a publicity stunt on the UK government side to show they are trying to help.” – Charlotte Charles
UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab echoed that sentiment, noting that the family’s frustrations are real and echoable by the public. A brave‑heart message: no sign of progress yet.
The Bottom Line
In short, Johnson’s plea is a bid to make the diplomatic curtain fall just a bit longer so a British family can get closure and because we all know justice deserves a second try.
