Donald Trump says 'nasty' London mayor Sadiq Khan has done a 'terrible job' as Starmer intervenes
Donald Trump has described London's Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan as a 'nasty person' who has done 'a terrible job', as Sir Keir Starmer jumped to his defence.
Speaking to reporters, the US president said: 'I'm not a fan of your mayor. I think he's done a terrible job, the Mayor of London… a nasty person.'
The Prime Minister intervened to say: 'He's a friend of mine, actually.'
Mr Trump went on to say: 'I think he's done a terrible job. But I would certainly visit London.'
The comments came during Mr Trump's five-day-long private trip to Scotland.
