LONDON, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Britain on Thursday appointed Christian Turner as the UK ambassador to the United States, handing him a pivotal role in navigating ties with President Donald Trump's administration at a sensitive moment for the transatlantic relationship.
The appointment of a career diplomat to the high-profile post represents a shift in strategy from Prime Minister Keir Starmer after his decision to send in political appointee Peter Mandelson to build relations with the Trump administration backfired earlier this year.
