US President Donald Trump has criticised the UK ambassador who said in leaked emails that his administration was "inept".
Mr Trump said: "The ambassador has not served the UK well, I can tell you that," BBC reports.
Emails from Sir Kim Darroch said Mr Trump's White House was "uniquely dysfunctional" and "divided".
Trade secretary Liam Fox told the BBC the leak was "unprofessional, unethical and unpatriotic".
He said that whoever released the emails had "maliciously" undermined the defence and security relationship with the US, "the most important global relationship that we have".
