US President Donald Trump reignited his long-standing feud with London Mayor Sadiq Khan, labeling him a 'terrible leader' and stating that the city has become increasingly hazardous. In an interview with GB News, Trump expressed his concerns about the capital, citing instances of violent crime, particularly knife attacks. According to Trump, his mother cherished London, but it has changed under Khan's leadership. He noted that there are now areas where police are reluctant to approach due to safety concerns. Trump also claimed that Khan intends to enforce sharia law in London, a claim the mayor has repeatedly denied. Khan responded to Trump's comments, accusing him of spreading misinformation about the city's safety record. Data suggests that violent crimes resulting in injury have decreased across all London boroughs over the past year. Trump's criticism of Khan is not new, dating back to 2015 when the Labour politician denounced Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the US. Trump's comments come as a surprise, as he failed to address the issue of gun crime in the US, which has one of the highest rates of gun-related deaths in the world. Khan's office has not commented on Trump's latest statements, but the mayor has consistently rejected claims of enforcing sharia law in the city.
