Didn’t Obama return that bust to Britan?

If so, why?

Did Britain request it back?

Good question. Could be so as poke a sharp stick in the eye of our ally of longest standing.

No.

Yes, it is true. Obama returned the bust of Winston Churchhill which was on loan to the White House after 9-11. The Brits offered to extend the loan for another 4 years, but Obama said “No thanks.”

Here’s the article.

Yes, he did return it. I don’t think he gave an explanation, but the supposition is he has to do with Britain and Kenya and O’s father.
