Former U.S. President Donald Trump, currently on a state visit to the United Kingdom, sharply criticised London Mayor Sadiq Khan when asked whether he intended to spend time in the capital. Trump called Khan “a nasty person” and said the mayor had done “a terrible job,” but added that he still planned to visit London during the trip. Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, who was present when the comments were made, responded that Khan was “a friend of mine,” prompting a brief exchange in which Trump repeated his criticism. The remarks revive longstanding tensions between Trump and Khan dating back to Trump’s time in office.
