During a recent public exchange, U.S. President Donald Trump criticized London Mayor Sadiq Khan, describing him as a "nasty person" who has done a "terrible job." Trump made these remarks while discussing his upcoming state visit to London, stating that despite his disapproval of Khan, he would still visit the city. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, present during the exchange, defended Khan by interrupting Trump to say that Khan is a friend of his. The comments have reignited tensions between Trump and Khan, with Khan responding by labeling Trump as racist and Islamophobic. The dispute has drawn attention in both the United States and the United Kingdom, highlighting the strained relations between the two political figures. Trump also mentioned his friendship with Nigel Farage during the discussion.
