  "account": "Two US ambassadors have displayed Van Goghs in their London residence, but President Donald Trump's nominee for the position is unable to follow suit. Winfield House, situated in Regent's Park, has been the official residence of US ambassadors to the UK since 1946. The property is renowned for its expansive garden, which is the second largest in London after Buckingham Palace. Two ambassadors before Warren Stephens, specifically John Hay Whitney (1957-61) and Walter Annenberg (1969-74), brought their Van Gogh masterpieces to the residence. These paintings were later donated to renowned institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.",
