Trump Says He Didn't Want London Mayor Sadiq Khan at State Banquet

Donald Trump has reignited his long-running feud with London Mayor Sadiq Khan, claiming in a recent interview that he did not want Khan to attend the UK state banquet during his official visit. The remark has once again placed their rivalry in the global spotlight, sparking debate in political and media circles.

Trump and Khan have exchanged sharp criticisms for years, particularly during Trump's presidency, when Khan frequently spoke out against Trump's policies and rhetoric. Trump, in turn, often dismissed Khan as a "terrible mayor" who had failed London. The latest statement adds fuel to their contentious history.

While some observers view Trump's comments as part of his larger pattern of attacking political opponents, others argue it reflects deeper tensions in US-UK relations during his time in office. British officials have not yet formally responded, but the remark has triggered wide coverage in the UK press.

Political analysts suggest the feud has become symbolic of broader cultural and political divides, with Trump appealing to his base by criticizing figures like Khan, while Khan positions himself as a defender of London’s diversity and values.

The renewed controversy also comes at a time when Trump remains active on the international stage, with his comments continuing to make headlines and influence public discourse.
