Trump cancels UK visit, says he will not unveil new US embassy
London
US President Donald Trump has cancelled a visit to London that was scheduled for early this year, saying he was disappointed with the "Obama administration having sold" the US embassy in the British capital.
"(The) reason I cancelled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for peanuts, only to build a new one in an off location for US$1.2 billion," Mr Trump said in a tweet late on Thursday.
