Sadiq Khan Responds to Donald Trump's Criticism, Citing Jealousy
Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, has responded to criticism from Donald Trump, asserting that the former President is envious of London. This claim was made in the context of Trump's remarks during a speech to the United Nations General Assembly in September, where he labeled Khan a "terrible mayor" and suggested that London has undergone significant changes that are detrimental.
Khan's rebuttal indicates that Trump's comments reflect a deeper issue, claiming they arise from a place of jealousy rather than valid critique. "I look at London - where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor - and it's been changed. It's been so changed," said Donald Trump during his address.
The ongoing feud ignited discussions among politicians and public figures, who have weighed in on the dynamics between Khan and Trump. Khan believes that such hostility from MPs towards London is rooted in jealousy rather than a concern for the city’s well-being, suggesting that Trump’s remarks are part of a larger pattern of attacks against London and its leadership.
