The incoming British ambassador to the U.S. Peter Mandelson praised President-elect Trump in a new op-ed, predicting his forthcoming presidency will be one of the “most consequential” in recent years.

“America’s allies need to hear the message the American people have sent and calibrate their partnerships in order to work with and alongside the U.S. to stand up for the joint interests that unite us,” Mandelson wrote in a Fox News op-ed published on Friday.

Mandelson, who is set to replace Dame Karen Pierce, wrote that he views three areas where the U.K. and the U.S. can expand their long-running partnership: national security, economic growth and foreign policy.
