The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has recently announced the cancellation of his state visit to the United Kingdom, due to take place in February, because he disagrees with the movement of the US embassy in London.

For this, he blamed Obama's administration for reaching a "bad deal". The President tweeted: "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. Bad deal. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!"

This event happened only a few months after UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn showed support for his supporters that said they would riot in protest of the President's visit.

What do you guys think? Is he welcome in the UK? Was his cancellation inevitable or off-the-cuff?

I think it would be interesting to hear opinions from all corners of politics.
