Trump has warned PM Starmer against letting China set up mega-embassy near UK’s key financial centres; plan revived following lobbying by Xi

These are “the issues we talk about as two countries all the time”, Kyle said. “But just to reassure people, we deal with embassies and these sorts of infrastructure issues all the time,” he said.
“We’re in the Five Eyes agreement, America and Britain share intelligence. If people raise security issues even though it relates to planning, then I’m sure we will have a fulsome response for them.
