EU Ambassador Sondland: Trump Intends to Recall Me 'Effective Immediately'

United States Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland is expected to be the next official removed from the Trump administration, according to a statement from the US official.

“I was advised today that the president intends to recall me effective immediately as United States Ambassador to the European Union,” Sondland said in a statement obtained by the New York Times. The ambassador thanked US President Donald Trump “for having given me the opportunity to serve.” 

Both Trump administration officials testified before the US House of Representatives during the impeachment inquiry late last year, and their firings come just two days after Trump was acquitted by the US Senate on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. 

“Though much of today’s testimony by Ambassador Sondland was related to his presumptions and beliefs, rather than hard facts, he testified to the fact that President Trump never told him that a White House meeting or the aid to Ukraine was tied to receiving a public statement from President [of Ukraine Volodymyr] Zelenskyy,” the White House said at the time.
