However, NY Jets owner, US Ambassador to the UK, and Trump Supporter, Woody Johnson said the following after Trump's tweet:
The known "facts" I have from this article are that the W administration, post 9/11, set in motion the move and the sale and put the guidelines in place for the move. The location is on the river and in town and in a place that provides the security necessities the W administration suggested. Furthermore, the facility seems to world class and is the most expensive building in the UK.
What do you all make of this?

"The new embassy is not just bigger, it is better and capable of meeting the complex challenges of the 21st century and beyond. It is the most secure, hi-tech and environmentally friendly embassy that the United States has ever built," Johnson wrote in the U.K.'s Evening Standard newspaper.
