Britain’s current prime minister has appointed former prime minister David Cameron as foreign secretary during a cabinet reshuffle. Cameron, who called the 2016 Brexit referendum that ended up pulling the UK out of the European Union, will be responsible for relations with Europe, among other parts of his portfolio.

In a surprise appointment, Cameron was named foreign secretary after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak sacked hard-line Interior Minister Suella Braverman and replaced her with foreign secretary James Cleverly, in his first cabinet reshuffle since taking office last October.
