Donald Trump has reignited his dispute with London Mayor Sadiq Khan in a recent TV interview. Trump, speaking on GB News, made several false statements without facing any challenge.
During the interview, Trump criticized Khan, labeling him as a “terrible mayor” and blamed him for the state of crime in London. However, official data shows a reduction in violent crimes in the city, with Londoners statistically less likely to encounter violence compared to other parts of England & Wales.
Trump further claimed that London has deteriorated, citing incidents of stabbings and suggesting a rise in crime under Khan’s leadership. He also echoed unfounded claims about supposed “no-go” zones and Sharia Law in the city, allegations debunked by official sources.
Moreover, Trump alleged that his speech at the UN General Assembly was deliberately disrupted by the UN, claiming technical malfunctions and intentional sabotage, which contradicts the standard practice of translation services at the UN meetings.
