Bizarrely, the US never actually owned its old embassy. Instead it's owned by a British company called Grosvenor (Mayfair) Estate - which is ultimately owned by the billionaire 26-year-old Duke of Westminster.
As part of a 999-year lease from 1954, the US rented its embassy off the Duke of Westminster's empire for one peppercorn.
The US then sold this lease to a firm called QD Europe, based in the conveniently low-tax country of Luxembourg, for £315million in October 2013.

Trump has ODS almost as bad as CO. .

I'll say this... Us embassies are totally inaccessible to citizens unlike other countries and waste a fortune of $. I'm absolutely disgusted by the $1.2 billion figure and the state department treats people like shit.
That has nothing to do with Trump's swipe at Obama, nor his cancellation.

Have you been to the embassy in S'pore? My heart rate goes up every time I walk in.
Singapore, Newish:
Versus the old:
How can they nail his face so perfectly and then blow it by having him way too skinny and the hair isn’t even close?

In Trump's defense, that new embassy is ugly as all hell.
