US President Donald Trump has dismissed many of former president Joe Biden’s nominees to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, including Doug Emhoff, the husband of former vice president Kamala Harris.

Mr Emhoff, who is Jewish and who led the Biden administration’s efforts to combat antisemitism, criticised Mr Trump’s action, saying: “Let me be clear: Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicised.”
