Donald Trump says he will not travel to London to open new US Embassy

US president Donald Trump has confirmed he will not travel to the UK to open the new American embassy - and hit out at the location of the $1.2bn project.

Writing on Twitter, Mr Trump said he thought the embassy's move from Grosvenor Square in the prestigious Mayfair district of central London to Nine Elms, south of the Thames, was a "bad deal".
