00:00It's day one of a new job for Lord Peter Mandelson today, who starts his stint as a UK ambassador
00:08to the US. Lord Mandelson has said the United Kingdom wouldn't necessarily agree with every
00:15detail of President Trump's agenda, but it was important to have a strong and clear mandate
00:21for change. Here's what he had to say about his new role.
00:25I'm speaking to you from the Ambassador's Residence, a building that symbolises decades
00:31of friendship, hosting countless presidents, prime ministers, politicians, royalty and
00:38many ordinary American citizens. I'm crystal clear, the UK has no closer ally than America.
00:46Looking ahead, President Trump's administration is shaping up to be one of the most consequential
00:53periods in modern America.
