Sadiq Khan Accuses Trump of Racial Attacks

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has accused former U.S. President Donald Trump of attacking him based on his 'skin color' and Muslim faith during his first term from 2017 to 2021. In a recent podcast, Khan stated that Trump's criticisms reflect 'sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, and racist' policies, asserting that if he were not a practicing Muslim, Trump would not have targeted him. The longstanding tension between the two escalated during Trump's presidency, marked by Trump's derogatory remarks about Khan's performance and Khan's public protests, including the use of a baby blimp depicting Trump. Khan's comments contrast sharply with the British Labour Party's current stance, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer congratulated Trump on his recent electoral victory, calling their conversation 'very constructive.' Khan expressed concern over Trump's leadership, emphasizing that it impacts not only him but also the broader implications for society. The ongoing feud highlights the differing views within the Labour Party regarding Trump's policies and persona.
