UK's New Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, Makes History
From Obama Supporter to Foreign Secretary
By Jenny Gross, Reporting from London
David Lammy, a British Labour politician, has been appointed Secretary of State for Foreign Commonwealth and Development Affairs. Lammy is the first person of color to hold this prestigious position and his appointment has been met with both excitement and criticism.
Lammy, who has deep ties to the United States and campaigned for former President Barack Obama, is a rising star in British politics. He has been a vocal critic of the UK's foreign policy and has called for a more compassionate and humanitarian approach.
Lammy's appointment comes at a time when the UK is facing a number of challenges on the international stage, including Brexit, the war in Ukraine, and the rise of China. He is expected to play a key role in shaping the UK's foreign policy in the years to come.
