New Zealand has sacked its ambassador to the United Kingdom after the diplomat publicly questioned Donald Trump’s understanding of the events that precipitated World War II. New Zealand’s ministry of foreign affairs said it was in discussions with Goff about his return home and it had no further comment to make. Helen Clark criticised the rationale for Goff’s ouster as a thin excuse. Clark led New Zealand from 1999 to 2008. Before his appointment as the top diplomat to the UK in 2023, Goff served in several ministerial portfolios.
