Trump administration accused by the UK of a 'denial of justice' after refusing to extradite a diplomat's wife accused of killing a British teenager

The US has denied the UK's request for the extradition of the US diplomat's wife who is accused of causing the death of a British teenager near a US military base in England last summer.

A spokesman for the Dunn family accused the Trump administration of taking a "wrecking ball" to the alliance between the UK and US. British prosecutors sought the extradition of Anne Sacoolas, 42, after she was charged with causing his death by dangerous driving in December. Reports have suggested that she was driving on the wrong side of the road when Dunn was struck.The US state department said granting the extradition request "would set an extraordinarily troubling precedent."

The Home Office said: "We are disappointed in this decision, which appears to be a denial of justice. We are urgently considering our options." "This administration is heaving lawlessly and taking a wrecking ball to one of the greatest alliances in the word. This is a lawless, corrupt administration that appears intent on attacking even its closest international ally."
