Donald Trump has launched a new attack on Sir Sadiq Khan, as he claimed his earlier criticism of the London mayor had been well received. The US president said Sir Sadiq was a “horrible mayor” and a “stupid guy” who had done a “lousy job” as he spoke to reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday evening as he returned to the US following a five-day visit to Scotland.

During his visit to Scotland, US President Donald Trump renewed his long-standing feud with London Mayor Sadiq Khan, calling him a “nasty person” and criticising his leadership. The exchange came during a press conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
