Former US President Donald Trump has once again targeted London Mayor Sadiq Khan in a blistering social media post, reigniting their bitter feud just weeks before the UK general election.
In his characteristic combative style, Trump accused Khan of failing to protect Londoners and claimed the city had become "unrecognisable" under his leadership. The outburst comes as Khan seeks re-election for a historic third term.
History of Hostility
The two politicians have clashed repeatedly since Khan became mayor in 2016. Trump famously cancelled a visit to the UK in 2018 after Khan compared his rhetoric to that of fascists.
Political analysts suggest Trump's latest intervention could influence undecided voters in London, where Khan faces a tough battle against Conservative challenger Susan Hall.
Khan's Office Responds
A spokesperson for the Mayor dismissed Trump's comments, stating: "Sadiq Khan remains focused on delivering for Londoners, not engaging in Twitter spats with former presidents."
The timing of Trump's remarks has raised eyebrows, coming during a crucial period in the UK election campaign. Some observers speculate this may be an attempt to sway British voters ahead of polling day.
