Trump rips into Sadiq Khan and claims 'London on brink of Sharia law'

Donald Trump takes aim at UN 'your countries are going to hell'

Donald Trump accused Sadiq Khan of putting London under 'Sharia Law' as he reignited his ongoing feud with the capital's mayor in a blistering speech at the UN headquarters in New York.

Addressing the United Nation's general assembly in a scathing speech that also took aim at the entire organisation, President Trump said: "I look at London where you have a terrible mayor. A terrible, terrible mayor. I's been so changed, so changed, now they want to go to Sharia Law. It's really a different country, you can't do that."

There is no evidence any part of London is under Sharia Law.

The mayor and POTUS have had a turbulent relationship that has been exacerbated by Mr Khan's recent comments on the President ahead of his second state visit to the UK earlier this month.

The US president claimed Sir Sadiq had wanted to be part of the state visit but Mr Trump said he “asked that he not be there”.

Asked to respond to Mr Trump’s claim, the mayor of London said on Sunday: “I’ve not really given it much thought. I am indifferent to President Trump.

“I literally have more important things to worry about.”

The two men’s spat dates back to at least 2015, when the Labour politician condemned the then presidential hopeful’s suggestion that Muslims should be banned from travelling to the US.

The row intensified when the president criticised the mayor’s response to the London Bridge terror attack, and in 2018 Sir Sadiq’s office gave permission for an inflatable depicting Mr Trump as a baby to fly in Parliament Square as the Republican visited the UK.

At the UN today Mr Trump also said the entire continent of Europe was being "invaded" as he cast aspersions on the UK and other nation's attemps to combat illegal migration. “Europe is in serious trouble. They have been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody’s ever seen before," he said.

“Both the immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe if something isn’t done immediately. This cannot be sustained.”

The president, who’s enforcing an immigration crackdown in the U.S., said what the U.N. is doing is “totally unacceptable” as he accused the organisation of "funding an assault on western Europe's borders".

“The U.N. is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them,” said Trump.
