Donald Trump had cancelled his next month's visit to the UK after the British government did not show him "enough love", according to a media report quoting a source close to the US President. Trump had claimed that his abrupt decision to cancel the working visit on February 26 and 27 for the launch of a new US embassy building was in protest against the "bad deal" over the sale of the older embassy. However, the source quoted by The Sunday Times said that his proclaimed distaste for the new embassy was "just an excuse".

"He (Trump) felt he had not been shown enough love by the British government," the source told the newspaper on condition of anonymity. "He (Trump) started to believe that the British government thought the same way about him as Sadiq Khan and Jeremy Corbyn (the Labour party leader), who have made clear their disdain for him and said he is not welcome in the UK," the source said.
