Donald Trump says his party will go the extra mile to ‘denounce’ London’s far-left mayor Sadiq Khan, who is openly homophobic, sexist and racist I am appealing to you.
Britain and the US’ “special relationship” faces upheaval as opinion polls show former president Donald Trump returning to the White House and left-wing Labor party widely expected to take power in Westminster. Both countries are due for general elections later this year.
Labor leaders appear to have softened their stance on Mr Trump, given London’s need to work closely with Washington, but left-wing London Mayor Sadiq Khan has threatened to embarrass his party and threaten the US presidential election. They are trying to get the current front-runner to be openly criticized.
Khan repeats Hillary Clinton’s infamous “basket of deplorables” speech. Said POLITICO website: “I get it very clearly about Trump…He’s a racist. He’s a sexist. He’s a homophobe. And especially when it comes to special relationships. It is very important to treat them as your best companions.
“If my best friend was a racist, sexist, homophobe, I would call him out and explain why his ideas are wrong.”
Mr Khan, who won a record third term earlier this month despite overseeing rampant crime in the British capital, said he was “worried” about Mr Trump becoming president again. continued.
“You know, I’ve been talking to the governors of America. I’ve been talking to the mayors of America. Of course, it’s relevant who becomes president. But for state visits, “We shouldn’t literally roll out the red carpet,” he said.
“Of course, it’s very important to have good relationships with Democrats and Republicans. But I’ve lost count of how many Republican members of Congress I’ve talked to who are concerned about a Trump presidency.”

The left-wing mayor has long been at odds with Trump, with Khan calling in 2017 to ban the then-president from making a state visit and meeting with Queen Elizabeth II. Mr. Khan justified his opposition to the US leader by claiming that Mr. Trump exploited “xenophobia.” While he takes issue with racism and “otherness” as a campaign tactic, he says he only cares about “white America” and that Trump’s campaign slogan, America First, is actually “white America.” “America First.”
Meanwhile, President Trump slammed Khan as a “ruthless loser” for failing to tackle knife crime and terrorism in London. Trump has repeatedly criticized London’s governance. saying Earlier this month, the UK capital was said to be “no longer recognizable” due to mass immigration.
Khan’s latest comments come as his left-wing Labor Party leads the ruling Conservative Party by double digits in almost all opinion polls and is widely expected to win the next general election. Similarly, Trump is consistently polling ahead of incumbent Democratic President Joe Biden in the run-up to the November US presidential election.
President Trump was openly pro-British and a strong supporter of a post-Brexit US-UK trade deal, but a combination of Boris Johnson’s Conservative government’s incompetence and China’s coronavirus forced him to leave office. No agreement was ever signed. Conversely, anti-Brexit President Biden has refused to even negotiate trade with the UK, forcing London to forge deals with US states for the past four years.
So if the polls prove accurate, Labor could be forced to negotiate with Mr Trump for a new trade deal with Britain’s biggest trading partner after two elections. . So figures like Labor’s Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy, who has previously criticized President Trump, have extended an olive branch to the presidential front-runner, saying that Trump is “misunderstood”. It’s not surprising that it appears to be.
Mr Trump’s long-time ally and leader of the Brexit campaign, Nigel Farage, is set to serve as ambassador to Washington if Labor and Mr Trump come to power in a bid to promote a trade deal between the two countries. However, there seems to be little interest internally. Left-wing parties draft populist campaigners.
