I'm very sorry you're not coming to open the new London embassy. It would have been an opportunity to point out that the move was planned in 2008 (in those happy pre-fake news days:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/3123915/US-embassy-to-move-from-Grosvenor-Square-to-industrial-estate.html); in other words, before Obama became president. (You might want to do something about your pathological desire to blame him for everything. Not healthy.) In fact, the move was prompted by Bush-era legislation stipulating new security measures for all US embassies. Facts, huh?
But never mind, perhaps the new embassy in Beirut, which looks as if it is going be rather splendid (as it should at $1bn+), will be ready in time for you to open. There's also the new one planned for Mexico City, just don't mention the wall.
On the bright side, you've saved me the price of a train fare to London, and I hadn't started work on my placard.
