Description

In his speech to the UN General Assembly, US President Donald Trump has made a fresh attack on Sir Sadiq Khan, and claimed London wants to “go to Sharia law”.

A spokesperson for Sadiq, London’s first Muslim mayor said: “We are not going to dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response."

The US president also appeared to change his stance on Ukraine, speculating that Kyiv could win back its land due to Russia’s economic troubles.
