London Mayor Sadiq Khan: Don't 'roll Out The Red Carpet' For Trump by Alphasoar(m): 1:37pm On Jun 06, 2017
London (CNN)US President Donald Trump's war of words with the Mayor of London continued Monday, with the two men trading barbs even as the city mourns the victims of Saturday's terror attack.

Speaking to the UK's Channel 4 News, London Mayor Sadiq Khan reiterated that he thought a planned state visit to the UK for Trump should be called off.
"I don't think we should roll out the red carpet to the President of the USA in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for," Khan said.
"When you have a special relationship it is no different from when you have got a close mate. You stand with them in times of adversity, but you call them out when they are wrong. And there are many things about which Donald Trump is wrong."
He said his position on the planned state visit had remained consistent.
In January of this year, Khan insisted Trump's state visit to Britain be canceled after the US President attempted to impose a travel ban on Muslim nations -- a policy that he labeled "cruel and shameful."


The British politician was largely dismissive of two tweets sent by Trump in the wake of the attacks, which misconstrued a statement from Khan.
In the immediate aftermath of the attack, Khan said there was "no cause for alarm" when referring to a visible increase in police activity on the streets of London.
Trump appeared to misconstrue the statement on Sunday when he tweeted: "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

Trump renewed his criticism of Khan on Monday, a day after attacking his handling of the weekend's terror attack in the city.
Trump said: "Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his 'no reason to be alarmed' statement. (Mainstream media) is working hard to sell it!"
Following a vigil held near the city's famous Tower Bridge, Khan said that as he deals with the fallout from the latest attack on the British capital, he hasn't "got the time to respond to tweets from Donald Trump."

Donald Trump is somehow diminishing the status, prestige and the reverence of the office of POTUS.

While Trump is too brash, Khan has been trying hard to downplay the
terror attacks and even suggested that terror attacks are normal and
should be expected.

The World hates TRUTH!!! Trump says things the way it is not how it ought to be. He doesn't care. He has said it time without number he was elected to serve Americans.

Trump saying it as it is. Straight-talking, holds-no-prisoners. Folks will gradually have enough of political correctness should these insane terror attacks continue in the west.

Why? Why is Donald Trump coming for Sadiq Khan?
If he want to ban Muslims from coming to America, he should go ahead, and stop using other people's misery to play his politics of Muslim ban

Well, there is no point adding to the panic of the people. Khan was just acting to true leadership, giving confidence and assurances to the people of London.

Many times I wonder how come this old man became president.

In my opinion american politics is at a lowest ebb.

Anyway, the electorates voted for a non politician because they were tired of their politicians.

True leadership is ensuring that no lunatic is inventivised to get into a truck and ram into people to begin with, hence, the travel ban. Prevention is always better than cure. Sadiq Kahn is a pathetic excuse for a leader.
