Starmer Defends London Mayor Against ‘Ridiculous’ Trump Critique

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer branded Donald Trump’s criticisms of London’s mayor as “ridiculous” in his most pointed criticism yet of the US president.

In a rambling speech to the United Nations earlier this week, Trump took aim at the UK and other allies, branding the UK capital’s Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, as “terrible” and falsely claiming he’s introducing Sharia law to London. It came just days after Starmer and King Charles III attempted to charm the president at Windsor Castle on his state visit to Britain.
