Apparently Obama sold our old Embassy on the cheap. Prime real estate.
 And built this thing in a bad location for over a $1 Billion.

 The Canyonlands Garden, which represents the Grand Canyon and the south west desert landscapes of the United States, is seen in the new US embassy. President Trump's claim that the US Embassy in London was ‘sold for peanuts’ appear to have been vindicated after documents reveal that it went for just £315m ($431m). When it was sold five years ago property experts said that the market value of the deal was £500m ($680m) and it was thought that this was the sum achieved. However official Land Registry records reveal that the 999-year lease of the land was actually sold for almost £200m less than expected. The President claimed just before midnight on Thursday in Washington D..C. on Twitter that the reason he cancelled his trip to London to open the new embassy is because 'the Obama Administration sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for "peanuts," only to build a new one in an off location for 1.2 billion dollars. Bad deal.' English property law means that the Duke of Westminster, one of the UK's wealthiest men, owns the land underneath the old embassy. The current duke's great uncle, the 4th Duke of Westminster, sold the US government a lease on the land where the former embassy, which opened in 1960, stands. Standing in London's Grosvenor Square, in the heart of Mayfair, itself the wealthiest part of the city, the old embassy was bought by Qatari Diar – the property development arm of the Qatari royal family – in 2013. The Qataris will now spend $1.4bn (£1.08bn) to refurbish the building and turn it into a five-star Rosewood hotel with 137 bedrooms. More Obama shady deal right there... |

I don't really get the tweet. There's no reason for it, and nothing to gain. It just looks kind of bitchy, for no gain. It's not like the people moving into it were necessarily involved in the bad decision others made, why piss on their parade? Just say you're busy or something if you don't want to go. He's probably right, but for what, to show the rest of the world that we're dysfunctional?

You can take the community organizer out of Chicago, but you can't take Chicago out of the community organizer. I am not surprised Trump doesnt want it. Obama had a hand in it. Brits had a hand in it. Therefore, it's full of spy equipment the Brits can use to tell Obama what's going on. Those fuckers helped fabricate the fake "piss dossier" after all. |

It was actually Bush UPI
In 2009, the Obama State Department agreed to sell the Grosvenor Square building where the U.S. embassy was located to the Qatar royal family. The sale was made because the British government wanted to list the building as one of historical importance, which would have made renovations and a potential sale more difficult to do. In November 2016, the Qatar royal family won approval from London officials to turn the building into 137-room luxury hotel. |
