President of the United States Donald Trump has said that he will cancel his maiden visit to London where he was to inaugurate the new US embassy. He tweeted out that he wouldn’t be going forward with his visit, criticising former President Barack Obama over the embassy’s shift.
However the decision to shift the embassy was taken by the George W Bush administration in 2008, reports the Wall Street Journal. Several options were considered in order to upgrade the embassy’s security and the final decision was to move it. The new embassy was funded by the sale of several properties owned by the United States in the United Kingdom.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
