London's mayor hits back at Trump
Western Daily Press
|September 25, 2025
SIR Sadiq Khan has called Donald Trump racist, sexist and Islamophobic, after the United States president renewed his feud with the London mayor during a speech to the United Nations this week.
"I think President Trump has shown he is racist, he is sexist, he is misogynistic and he is Islamophobic," Sir Sadiq told Sky News yesterday.
Asked about Mr Trump's comments that Sir Sadiq is a "terrible mayor", he said he was "thankful" that record numbers of Americans are coming to London.
Cabinet minister Bridget Phillipson later declined to repeat Sir Sadiq's description of Mr Trump.
Green Party leader Zack Polanski praised Sir Sadiq's response as "exactly what the leader of a diverse and vibrant city like London should say."
"These words only amplify the silence coming from those in Westminster who seem unable or unwilling to speak out," he posted on social media.
