The new US embassy in London.
President Donald Trump has cancelled his planned trip to Britain, where he was due to open the new US embassy.
In a tweet on Thursday, Trump claimed that the Obama administration had sold the former US embassy "for 'peanuts,' only to build a new one in an off location."
The decision to sell the old embassy was actually taken during the George W Bush administration and reportedly driven by security concerns.
The new 12-story glass embassy, which is scheduled to open on January 16, cost $1 billion (£730 million) - making it the most expensive embassy ever built.
