LONDON—U.S. President Donald Trump canceled a trip to London scheduled for next month to open a new embassy, because he considers the embassy’s relocation a “bad deal.”

“Reason I canceled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having 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,” Trump said in a tweet late on Thursday.
