Sadiq Khan Accuses Trump of Racism and Islamophobia
London Mayor Sadiq Khan claims Donald Trump's criticisms are rooted in his ethnicity and Muslim faith, reigniting their longstanding feud.
- Khan, the first Muslim mayor of a Western capital, alleges Trump's attacks are personal and based on his ethnicity and religion.
- The feud began during Trump's first presidency, following Khan's opposition to a U.S. travel ban targeting Muslim-majority countries.
- Trump has previously criticized Khan's handling of terrorism and crime in London, calling him a 'stone cold loser' and 'very dumb.'
- Khan has supported protests against Trump, including allowing a 'Baby Trump' blimp to fly during Trump's 2018 UK visit.
- Despite past tensions, Khan expresses willingness to engage with Trump and showcase London's diverse communities.
