Trump Slams London Mayor Sadiq Khan Over Immigration and City's Transformation

In a heated interview with Politico, US President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on London Mayor Sadiq Khan, labeling him a 'disaster' and criticizing his handling of immigration. Trump claimed Khan's popularity stems from the large number of immigrants who have voted for him, transforming the city into a 'different place.' He also expressed pessimism about Europe's future, warning that unchecked immigration could lead to the continent's 'decay.' This is not the first time Trump has targeted Khan, with their animosity dating back to 2015 when Trump proposed a Muslim ban. Khan publicly condemned the proposal, and the two have since engaged in a series of public feuds. In response to Trump's latest comments, Khan called him 'racist, sexist, misogynistic, and Islamophobic' and emphasized London's status as a multicultural, inclusive capital. UK politicians have rallied around Khan, with Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper praising Europe's resilience and rejecting Trump's narrative as 'destructive, not constructive.' MP Rosena Allin-Khan also condemned Trump's comments as 'lies' about London, calling for an official response against what she described as racism and Islamophobia. This latest exchange marks a continuation of the long-standing rivalry between Trump and Khan, with the US president warning that Western democracies are facing a 'resurgent far-right' and criticizing online platforms for fostering 'hate and misinformation.'
