I rather think the choice of wording could have been deliberate, especially if it was aimed at the general public instead of other 'officials' who are well versed with understanding the convoluted and hidden meanings in
'political speak'.
The general public now know the appraisal of Trump and his administration given by a
'very experienced and highly regarded' member of the UK Government.
Regarding the section highlighted in bold, it makes you wonder just how secure our security is when you look back on other instances of 'leaks' to the media . . . not to mention briefcases left on taxi seats etc etc
