Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has given yet another interview this time on the American far-left podcast Pod Save America. This sparks a new escalation in the word of words between Khan and President Trump where Trump referred to Khan as a ‘Stone cold loser’ who should be more focused on sorting out the crime in London and also mocked his height.
Khan Thundered on the podcast:
Donald Trump basically is the poster boy for the far right movement around the world.
He and I first came into interaction when he decided he was going to ban Muslims from coming into the UK, apart from me because I’m the mayor of London.
Banning Muslims from going to the USA is a bad policy, it’s not the sort of America those of us who love America know.
We have seen a number of policies which do cause concern to those of us in London, UK, Europe. The ripples of what is said by the president of the USA are felt all around the world.
A number of things he has said and done is causing problems, people in France, Hungary, Italy, the UK … who are having their views which are abhorrent normalised and mainstreamed because some of the things Donald Trump has done.
Mr Khan said that progress in LGBT+ rights, gender equality and other policies was now in danger of “going backwards.
In the last 70 years we have not had a war in mainstream Europe so it does worry me that the right(-wing) part of politics is setting the agenda, but what worries me more is the fruits of this will be exploited by the far right, and these fruits are poisonous.
Many of the things that are being said and done by Donald Trump cause huge offence and I’m afraid that the reputation of America isn’t as great as it has been in the past because of the president. The red carpet is not an honour that should be bestowed on this president.
We see the USA as our best friends. That means surely that we must have a relationship where we can call each other out.”
