Sadiq Khan says Donald Trump 'absolutely'' welcome to visit UK
Briefly

Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, has shifted his stance from urging the UK government to ban President Trump from visiting in 2019, to welcoming him in 2025. Previously critiquing Trump's policies, Khan now believes a visit could help clear up misconceptions about London, emphasizing its cultural diversity and freedom of speech. He asserts the importance of judging Trump by his future actions rather than his presidency history, illustrating a diplomatic approach while still advocating for London's values.
Khan emphasized that President Trump is welcome to London, stating, "He can see there is no threat to freedom of speech in this great city of ours," and highlights the city's diverse respect for different faiths.
Sir Khan previously criticized Trump for his policies, yet now suggests, "My job as the mayor of this great city is to stand up for our values... sometimes saying boo to a goose" shows a nuanced approach.
