"I think some of this may be a President who's jealous he hasn't got any global cities in the US that can compete with London. New York is a great city, it's probably the second greatest city in the world. But I'd be happy to compare Trump's favourite city's subway with our Elizabeth Line. There are far fewer homicides in London than in any state in the US, far fewer than in New York, LA or Chicago."
"He's an incompetent mayor, but he's a horrible, vicious, disgusting mayor. I think he's done a terrible job. London's a different place."
"MPs who attack the capital are "unpatriotic" as he accused them of targeting London because it's "incredibly successful"."
Sadiq Khan characterises Donald Trump's criticisms of London as rooted in jealousy over the capital's global-city status and success. Khan states that London is safer than any American metropolis and cites far fewer homicides than in New York, Los Angeles or Chicago. He contrasts London's Elizabeth Line with Trump's favourite city's subway. Khan accuses MPs who criticise London of being "unpatriotic" and targeting the city for its success. The exchange is part of a broader feud that includes Trump calling Khan a "horrible, vicious, disgusting mayor" and claims about no-go zones and cultural tensions.
