British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's chief of staff resigned Sunday over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as the U.K. ambassador to the U.S. due to Mandelson's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, while the Trump administration celebrated a statement from plastic surgeons regarding transgender surgery for minors. Additionally, Danish veterans are seeking an apology from former President Trump, and in Minnesota, residents are questioning the actions of individuals they believe to be immigration agents.
Morgan McSweeney, Starmer's chief of staff, stepped down, taking responsibility for advising the Prime Minister to appoint Mandelson to the diplomatic post in 2024, according to multiple reports. The resignation followed public outcry over Mandelson's association with Epstein.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration lauded a recent statement from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The statement recommends that doctors delay gender-related surgery until a patient is at least 19 years old. "Today marks another victory for biological truth in the Trump administration," wrote Deputy Health and Human Services Secretary Jim O'Neill in a press release, according to NPR News.
In other news, Danish veterans of the war in Iraq are expressing anger and betrayal over Trump's recent comments about NATO allies in Afghanistan and his attempts to take over Greenland. They are now seeking an apology from the former president, as reported by NPR Politics.
In Minnesota, residents are raising concerns about individuals they believe to be immigration agents impersonating utility workers. Luis Ramirez filmed a confrontation with two men outside his family's restaurant, who he believed were surveilling his business. According to Fortune, Ramirez questioned the men, who were wearing high-visibility vests and spotless white hard hats. He also noted that the electrician advertised on the vehicle's doors did not exist. "This is what our taxpayer money goes to: renting these vehicles with fake tags to come sit here and watch my business," Ramirez said in the video, according to Fortune.
