Mandelson's past criticisms of Trump and his approach towards China raise questions about his suitability for the ambassadorship, which requires balanced diplomatic engagement.
In 2018, Mandelson stated, 'It is absurd to imagine putting a country of such weight in the naughty corner,' highlighting fears regarding US-China relations and free trade.
He has emphasized that Trump's view on trade is that 'the US will gain in trade only when others are losing,' reflecting his concern about the bully-like tactics.
Mandelson’s advocacy for thawing relations with China indicates his belief in the necessity of maintaining communication despite previous tensions under Conservative leaders.
