London Mayor Sadiq Khan receives fiery criticism from former U.S. President Donald Trump, being labeled by him as one of the world's worst mayors. The criticism centers around a "DNA" TV show discussion.
In the political landscape of London, Sadiq Khan, the current Mayor of the city, hails from the Labour Party. His tenure has been marked by a contentious relationship with former US President Donald Trump.
The discord between the two leaders can be traced back to 2015, when Trump proposed his controversial anti-Muslim travel ban. Sadiq Khan was among those who criticised the proposal, voicing his opposition publicly.
The tension escalated in 2019, when Trump visited London on a state visit. During this time, Sadiq Khan publicly criticised Trump, leading to Trump's displeasure. He referred to Khan as a "stone-cold loser" and a "very dumb" mayor.
Trump's disapproval was evident when he refused to have dinner with Sadiq Khan during his visit. He also stated that Khan should not be seen at the banquet hosted to welcome him. Trump's supporters even organised protests against Sadiq Khan during his visit.
In the same year, Sadiq Khan criticised Trump's golfing habits, suggesting that he should focus more on governance and less on leisure activities.
The tensions resurfaced during Trump's 2025 UK state visit, when Trump referred to Sadiq Khan as "one of the worst mayors in the world." Sadiq Khan retaliated by labelling Trump as "Far Right."
Trump's criticism of Sadiq Khan's performance as mayor, particularly in areas of crime control and immigration, has been a recurring theme in their public exchanges.
This latest attack by Trump on Sadiq Khan occurred during Trump's two-day visit to the UK from September 16 to 18.
Despite the ongoing feud, Sadiq Khan continues to serve as the Mayor of London, navigating the city's political landscape with resilience.
