Johnson Criticises London Chinese Super‑Embassy
Mike Johnson criticised London's Chinese super‑embassy, calling the location symbolic but not a major development.
On 19 January 2026, US House Speaker Mike Johnson told Sky News that the Chinese plan to build a 'super‑embassy' at London’s Royal Mint Court was 'symbolic' and not a 'great development' for the US. Johnson said the site’s proximity to sensitive communication cables was striking, but he hoped the US could have secured the spot. Protesters rallied outside the site on Saturday, ahead of a decision announced on Tuesday. Johnson also warned that US actions in places like Greenland must still be approved by Congress. The speech marked the 250th anniversary of US independence and foreshadowed Johnson’s first address to the UK Parliament.
