  • Sir Sadiq Khan responded by accusing Trump of being "racist, sexist, misogynistic and Islamophobic".
  • Trump also denounced Europe as "decaying" and led by "weak" people, adding that cities like London and Paris are struggling with migration from Africa and the Middle East.
  • No 10 rejected Trump's claim that the UK was decaying but did not explicitly defend Sir Sadiq, instead highlighting the Prime Minister's "strong" relationships with both Trump and the London Mayor.
