Row over UK’s refusal to grant full diplomatic status to EU ambassador worsens

Britain entered a post-Brexit row with the European Union by refusing to grant the 27-nation bloc’s first-ever ambassador to the country full diplomatic status. The issue, which has been lingering on for nearly a year, has worsened after letters revealing the EU’s concerns on it got leaked. The UK says giving full diplomatic status would be like by treating an international body as a nation state.
