London mayor a disaster: Trump

Monday, 17 June 2019



LONDON, June 16 (Reuters): US President Donald Trump once again criticised London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Saturday, saying he is a "disaster" and will "only get worse" after three people were slain in the city in less than 20 hours.
Trump retweeted a tweet by the right-wing commentator Katie Hopkins who called London "stab city" and said "this is Khan's Londonistan," a phrase used to describe the city's failure to tackle Muslim extremists.
"LONDON needs a new mayor ASAP. Khan is a disaster - will only get worse!" Trump said on Twitter.
Trump called Khan, a Muslim of Pakistani heritage, a "stone-cold loser" earlier this month after the mayor criticised the British government for inviting Trump.
