U.S. President Donald Trump took to Twitter to criticize London’s mayor and renew his calls to ban travel from some Muslim-majority countries, after a terror attack that killed seven people in the heart of the U.K. capital on Saturday night.
“At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is ‘no reason to be alarmed!’”, Trump said at about 7:30 a.m. Washington time on Sunday. Shortly after the attacks, and before they were confirmed as terrorist events, he’d said that “we need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety,” a reference to his executive order that has been blocked by the courts.
