New Zealand's High Commissioner to UK is fired after Trump comments

[Blackleaf]

Phil Goff has been fired as New Zealand's High Commissioner to Britain after comments he made about Trump at Chatham House in London towards Elina Valtonen, the Finnish Foreign Minister (as a Finn, who speaks a language in which there is no grammatical gender whatsoever, Valtonen originally refers to Churchill as "her").

A High Commissioner is the equivalent of an Ambassador within the Commonwealth...

Yeah, read that 12 hours ago. Tells me New Zealand doesn’t want to be in Trumps maliciously, vindictive crosshairs if his ego go bruised with the truth…that this independent nation would sack their own diplomat to the United Kingdom as opposed to face Trumps attention. Damn…leader of the “free” world.
