According to The Daily Mail:
The United Kingdom's Trade Minister has said he will apologize to Ivanka Trump who is set to meet with soon. There have been no plans announced for replacing the ambassador.Donald Trump said Monday that he will retaliate against the United Kingdom's ambassador in Washington by freezing him out of American diplomacy, as punishment for harsh language about him in secret cables leaked to The Mail on Sunday.

'I do not know the Ambassador, but he is not liked or well thought of within the U.S. We will no longer deal with him,' he added.
