Over a dozen U.S. lawmakers attended a reception at the United Kingdom ambassador's residence, hosted by Prime Minister Keir Starmer as part of his visit to Washington D.C. to meet with President Donald Trump.
The reception honored Peter Mandelson, the new British ambassador to the United States. Starmer addressed the crowd saying he could feel a "buzz" around town given the arrival of a new leader who many loved and many loved to hate. "But to us, he's just Peter," he joked, according to Politico.
