[Breitbart London] London Mayor Sadiq Khan -- who has seen two terror attacks in the city since he took office in May 2016 -- has called for the state visit of U.S. President Donald Trump to be cancelled after the president slammed Khan for telling Londoners there is "no reason to be alarmed" following Saturday’s terror attack.
Mr. Khan made the comments on Channel 4 News, saying the president’s policies -- his proposed temporary travel ban on immigration from six Middle Eastern nations on grounds of securing the safety of American citizens -- "go[es] against everything we stand for".
"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," he said.
"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."
This is not the first time the London mayor has called for the offer of a state visit to be rescinded. |
