Speaking to the UN General Assembly in New York yesterday, the US president renewed his feud with London's Mayor, Sir Sadiq Khan, calling him a “terrible, terrible mayor”.

The Republican president also attacked UN assistance for asylum seekers, saying the organisation was “funding an assault’ on Western countries and their borders”.

Mr Trump said: “Europe is in serious trouble. They've been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody's ever seen before. Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe, and nobody's doing anything to change it.”

He added: “I look at London, where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor, and it's been changed, it's been so changed. Now they want to go to sharia law, but you're in a different country, you can't do that.”
