    That ambassador is a former high-ranking politician from a party that is not currently in power. This may be more to do with opportunistic score settling than alignment with Trump.

      It might, but given that the guy doing the firing is the founder and still leader of the ultranationalist hive of bigots known as New Zealand First, I think it’s beyond safe to assume that he’s aligned with Trump on at least one issue…
