NZ fires envoy to UK who questioned Trump's grasp of history
06-03-2025, 05:03 PM
At an event in London on Tuesday, High Commissioner Phil Goff compared efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine to the 1938 Munich Agreement, which allowed Adolf Hitler to annex part of Czechoslovakia.
Mr Goff recalled how Sir Winston Churchill had criticised the agreement, then said of the US leader: "President Trump has restored the bust of Churchill to the Oval Office. But do you think he really understands history?"
His comments were "deeply disappointing" and made his position "untenable", New Zealand's Foreign Minister Winston Peters said.
