US Embassy in London announces $500,000 in grants for public education
According to a report by The Guardian, the US embassy in London is providing approximately $500,000 in funding for public education initiatives centered on the "shared civilisational values" between the United States and the United Kingdom. British MP Lisa Smart has criticized the move, alleging that the US is trying to "meddle in British democracy" and local politics, noting that the funds are expected to go to organizations seen as supportive of the administration of US President Donald Trump.
