London Mayor: I Don’t Think We Should Be Rolling out the Red Carpet for Trump (Mediaite)

London Mayor Sadiq Khan seems to have floated canceling the city’s plans to hold a state visit ceremony for President Trump’s first arrival to the Great Britain.

Khan gave an interview to Channel 4 News on Monday, where he discussed the city’s anti-terror plan while lamenting about the current budget for the police force. Khan was eventually asked about what Trump’s “got against [him]” since the president has decided to slam him so much ever since the attacks near London Bridge.

With obvious exasperation, Khan reiterated his office’s previous statements about how he’s been dealing with more pressing matters than Trump’s tweets recently. When asked if Trump’s state visit to the UK should be called off, Khan said that Trump was wrong about “many things” and he suggested that cancelling the ceremony was not out of the question.
