$1bn London embassy is lousy, blasts Trump

  President Trump has renewed his criticism of the new US embassy in London, describing it as being in a “lousy” location and a bad deal. Mr Trump, who will visit the UK on July 13, lashed out again at the move from Grosvenor Square in the heart of Mayfair to Nine Elms in South London. He told a rally in Michigan: “In the UK, in London, we had the best site in all of London, the best site. “Well, some genius said, ‘We’re gonna sell the site and then we’re going to take the money and build a new embassy.’ That sounds good, right, but you’ve got to have money left over if you do that, right?” Click here for the full Times article (£)
