Trump names 'The Apprentice' producer Mark Burnett as special envoy to UK

President-elect Trump has appointed Mark Burnett, producer of "The Apprentice," as special envoy to the UK. This unconventional choice reflects Trump's preference for figures with television backgrounds. Burnett's role will focus on strengthening diplomatic ties and promoting trade and cultural exchange, despite the UK's existing strong alliance with the US and the pre-existing appointment of an ambassador.
