During his state visit to the UK, Donald Trump expressed his exhaustion from admiring various sights, stating he had “seen so many beautiful things.” Trump reportedly joked about not wanting to continue being shown around Washington’s monuments during a return visit to the US. The President’s comments were made during a private event with tech industry leaders at Chequers.
Following the state visit, Trump shifted his focus to criticizing London Mayor Sadiq Khan, accusing the city of drastic changes under Khan’s leadership and insinuating a potential shift towards “shariah law.” Despite the positive reception during his UK visit, Trump’s remarks stirred controversy and further tensions.
Meanwhile, Trump’s UN speech in New York took a confrontational tone towards Europe, blaming immigration for the decline of European countries. He also targeted Keir Starmer, calling for increased oil production in the North Sea and dismissing concerns about global warming as a “hoax.” Additionally, Trump reiterated his unfounded allegations against Sadiq Khan, claiming London’s direction towards Sharia law.
In response, Sadiq Khan’s spokesperson declined to engage with Trump’s remarks, emphasizing London’s status as a welcoming and safe city. The President’s comments have sparked debates and reactions from various political figures and observers.
