- London Mayor Sadiq Khan has dismissed criticism from Donald Trump, claiming the US president is "obsessed" with him and lives "rent-free inside this guy’s head".
- Sir Sadiq characterised Trump as a "nativist, protectionist and unilateralist" who believes in "mono-ethnicism" and the superiority of his religion and Americans.
- Khan positioned London as the "antithesis" of Trump's beliefs, describing it as a "progressive, liberal, diverse, multicultural" city.
- He suggested Trump spreads "disinformation" about London because its citizens elected a Muslim mayor of Pakistani origin, and expressed concern about Trump normalising extreme views.
- Trump previously called Khan a "horrible, vicious, disgusting mayor" in December, linking his election to immigration and criticising his performance.
