US President Donald Trump has again lashed out at London Mayor Sadiq Khan over his assurances to Londoners following Saturday\u2019s terror attack.<\/p>\n
He accused Mr Khan of offering a \u201cpathetic excuse\u201d for saying there was no reason for people to be alarmed.<\/p>\n
Mr Khan had in fact said people should not be alarmed by an increased police presence.<\/p>\n
After a vigil for the victims of the attack, Mr Khan said he would not allow Mr Trump to \u201cdivide our communities\u201d.<\/p>\n
Seven people were killed and 48 others injured in the attack on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Mr Trump took issue with Mr Khan\u2019s statement in the aftermath of the attack, when the mayor said: \u201cLondoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days. No reason to be alarmed.\u201d<\/p>\n
The US president responded: \u201cAt least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is \u2018no reason to be alarmed!’\u201d<\/p>\n
He followed this up with another tweet on Monday, saying: \u201cPathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his \u201cno reason to be alarmed\u201d statement. MSM [mainstream media] is working hard to sell it!\u201d<\/p>\n
The mayor\u2019s spokesman earlier made clear that he was telling Londoners not to be worried about the increased presence of armed police officers in the city.<\/p>\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
Speaking to the BBC after the vigil, Mr Khan said: \u201cWe\u2019ve got to recognise that some people want to divide our communities, some people thrive on fuelling division.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not me, that\u2019s not the London I know, and we aren\u2019t going to allow anybody, whether it\u2019s Donald Trump or anybody else to divide our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
His spokesperson earlier said he \u201chas more important things to do than respond to Donald Trump\u2019s ill-informed tweet that deliberately takes out of context\u201d the mayor\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n
Calls to withdraw London invite<\/strong><\/p>\n
Mr Trump\u2019s attacks on Mr Khan have drawn condemnation from both sides of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n
His critics have accused him of being insensitive and twisting the mayor\u2019s words.<\/p>\n
Politicians in the UK on Monday called on the prime minister to withdraw the invitation for Mr Trump\u2019s state visit later this year.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/figure>\n
The leader of the Liberal Democrats, Tim Farron, said: \u201cThis is a man insulting our national values at a time of introspection and mourning.\u201d<\/p>\n
Over the weekend, Prime Minister Theresa May refused to criticise Mr Trump, simply saying that Mr Khan was doing a \u201cgood job\u201d.<\/p>\n
British voters go to the polls on Thursday in a general election.<\/p>\n
\u201cTry to imagine the UK prime minister attacking the Mayor of NYC the day after 9\/11,\u201d said European Parliament cabinet member Simon O\u2019Connor.<\/p>\n
US mayors back Khan<\/strong><\/p>\n
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio was quick to defend Mr Khan, praising him for \u201cdoing exactly the right thing\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t understand why Donald Trump is trying to undermine a man who\u2019s trying to protect the people of London. It makes no sense,\u201d Mr de Blasio told the BBC\u2019s Nick Bryant during a press conference in New York on Monday. Trump renews feud with mayor of London<\/p>\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
The US Conference of Mayors, representing more than 1,400 American cities, backed Mr Khan.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has risen above this crisis of death and destruction, as mayors continue to do, to alleviate fear, to bring comfort to his people of London,\u201d the mayors wrote in a statement on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Mr Khan, a Muslim, has previously criticised the president\u2019s plans to temporarily restrict travel to the US from six mainly Muslim countries.<\/p>\n
After Mr Trump as a presidential candidate announced his plan, Mr Khan told the BBC he hoped he would \u201close badly\u201d, adding that he was a \u201cbuffoon\u201d.<\/p>\n
He also called Mr Trump\u2019s views on Islam \u201cignorant\u201d, leading the New York billionaire to challenge him to an IQ test.<\/p>\n
In the wake of the London attack, Mr Trump has been tweeting about his stalled travel ban.<\/p>\n
Federal courts struck down the first proposal in January. The administration replaced it with a less stringent version order in March, but that also ended up in limbo after legal defeats.<\/p>\n
On Monday, the president attacked the Justice Department for revising the original measure, leaving it \u201cwatered down\u201d and \u201cpolitically correct\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration is expected to take the proposal to the Supreme Court next week.<\/p>\n
He argues the measure is needed to prevent attacks in the US, but critics say the policy is discriminatory and has little national security justification.<\/p>\n
