London Mayor Calls For Cancellation Of Trump’s Visit To UK
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has called on the British government to cancel a state visit from Donald Trump after Trump attacked his response to the terror attacks in London this weekend.
“I don’t think we should roll out the red carpet to the president of the USA in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for,” Khan said in an interview with Britain’s Channel 4 News.
“When you have a special relationship it is no different from when you have got a close mate. You stand with them in times of adversity but you call them out when they are wrong. There are many things about which Donald Trump is wrong.”
Trump mischaracterized Khan’s words in order to suggest that he is somehow weak on terror.
Khan, who is a Muslim, has been attacked by Trump before.
When he was asked to respond to Trump’s attacks on him, Khan said he had more important things to do than respond to Trump’s tweets.
