London mayor Sadiq Khan hit back at US President Donald Trump after being called a “terrible mayor” in a UN speech. Trump claimed London was moving toward “sharia law,” sparking anger in the UK. Khan responded, calling Trump “racist, sexist, misogynistic and Islamophobic.” He also urged senior Labour leaders, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer, to have the courage to challenge Trump’s rhetoric. Khan defended London, citing record US visitors, investment, and global rankings in culture and sports. Trump and Khan have clashed for years, with Trump often targeting the mayor. Khan said London remains the “greatest city in the world.” (PC: The Guardian)
