Trump: There is a terrible mayor in London and the city has changed greatly
The Labor’s Mayor of the United Kingdom and Trump has been in disputes for several years. The latest rupture is related to the statement of the White House chief to Khan during the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN VZ).
“I look at London, where there is a terrible, terrible, terrible terrible mayor, and the city has changed, so it changed,” Trump said. “Now they want to introduce Sharia there. But you are in another country, you can’t do it,” he told the city management.
Khan: Trump is a racist, sexist, mizogýn and Islamophob
“I think President Trump has shown that he is a racist, sexist, mizogen and islamophobic,” Khan responded to Sky News. The mayor pointed out that London is at the forefront of many world rankings, for example in foreign investment.
Khan has been the Mayor of London since 2016 as the first Muslim in this position. The dispute between the two politicians began in 2015, when Khan condemned the proposal of the then presidential candidate Trump to ban Muslims to join the US. The conflict raised when Trump criticized Khan’s reaction in the terrorist attack on London Bridge in 2017. The disputes of both politicians continue after Trump’s return to the post of President.
