Allegations that US president Donald Trump’s envoy to Britain made inappropriate remarks about women and minorities and may have violated federal ethics rules have unsettled the US Embassy in London.

Current and former US officials say the charges against US ambassador to the Court of Saint James’s Robert “Woody” Johnson surfaced during a routine inspection of operations at the embassy and are to be addressed in a report by the State Department’s inspector general.
