LONDON — Boris Johnson has urged the U.S. to reconsider giving immunity to the wife of a diplomat who is a suspect in a fatal road crash in the U.K. — and will raise the issue with Donald Trump if that doesn't happen.
Teenager Harry Dunn died when his motorbike collided with a car near an RAF base in Northamptonshire on August 27, the prime minister's spokesperson said on Monday. A U.S. diplomat's wife, named as Anne Sacoolas, left the U.K. despite telling police she had no plans to,Johnson told ITV News:"I do not think that it can be right to use the process of diplomatic immunity for this type of purpose. And I hope that Anne Sacoolas will come back and will engage properly with the processes of law as they are carried out in this country."
"That’s a point that we’ve raised or are raising today with the American ambassador here in the U.K. and I hope it will be resolved very shortly. And to anticipate a question you might want to raise, if we can’t resolve it then of course I will be raising it myself personally with the White House." Boris Johnson says he will speak to the White House "personally" to urge the US to waive the immunity of a diplomat's wife who is suspected of being involved in a crash that left 19-year-old Harry Dunn dead.
