No 10 Denies Failing to Defend Sadiq Khan over Trump Attack
Trump blames migration for Europe's decline and calls London Mayor Sadiq Khan incompetent, linking electoral shifts to demographic changes in a recent POLITICO interview.
- This year, President Donald Trump used a wide-ranging POLITICO interview to criticise European leaders as too politically correct and renewed personal attacks on Sir Sadiq Khan, calling him a horrible and disgusting mayor.
- The feud between Donald Trump, President, and Sir Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, stretches back a decade with clashes in 2015 and September; Trump said Khan "gets elected because so many people have come in."
- Trump invoked the line `It destroys countries from within, and we're actually now removing a lot of the people that came into our country` while urging military action on small boats and territorial compromises over Ukraine.
- A No 10 spokesman refused to say whether the Prime Minister agreed and stressed close ties to both the US president and Sir Sadiq Khan, who accused Trump of being 'racist, sexist, misogynistic and Islamophobic' after not immediately replying.
- Seen alongside the 33-page U.S. national security strategy, the comments echo doubts about some European nations as reliable allies and come as Zelensky on Monday rejects territorial concessions amid the Ukraine war.
