The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, called Donald Trump “racist, sexist, misogynist and Islamophobic”, this Wednesday, September 24, after the new attacks against him by the US president in the UN General Assembly.
“I see London where you have a frightful mayor, a really frightening mayor,” Donald Trump told the UN Gallery in New York (United States). “Everything has changed a lot. Now they want to establish the law of Sharia” (Islamic Law), the president added, which is not the case.
“I think that President Trump has shown that he was racist, sexist, misogynist and Islamophobic,” Sadiq Khan, who became the first Muslim to direct a western capital in the British channel.
He also said he was “grateful” that a “record number of Americans” come to London. “There must be a reason for that,” he added.
Sadiq Khan already attacked by Donald Trump
Labor Sadiq Khan defended London, a “liberal, multicultural, progressive and prosperous.”
Donald Trump has already attracted Sadiq Khan, a practicing Muslim, many times. This Pakistani immigrant son became the first elected official in 2024 to win the London City Council for a third term.
In July, during his visit to Scotland, said the US President, during a press conference along with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, that the mayor of London was doing “very bad work.”
“He is a bad guy,” he said, before Keir Starmer interrupts him, he remembers, ashamed: “He is a friend of mine.”
Trump compared to “European dictators of the 1930s and 1940s”
Already in 2019, Donald Trump had addressed Sadiq Khan during a wave of jihadist attacks in London, and had called him “national shame” and “total loser.”
The same year, Sadiq Khan compared Donald Trump with the “European dictators of the 1930s and 1940s.”
The US president was visiting the United Kingdom last week, but it did not go to London: he met King Carlos III in Windsor, west of the capital, and Keir Starmer in Checkers, the field of prime ministers, and not Downing Street.
