“Nobody there” at the US Treasury

The UK’s most senior civil servant, Sir Gus O’Donnell said yesterday that the UK government was struggling to organise next month’s G-20 meeting because of the “absolute madness” of the US system, whereby “a new administration had to hire new officials from scratch, leaving a decision-making vacuum”.
O’Donnell added that “there is nobody there. You cannot believe how difficult it is”.
