London Mayor Sadiq Khan has labeled Donald Trump as a homophobe, sexist, and racist, urging his party to publicly condemn the former president. As the UK and US head towards general elections, Khan’s criticism of Trump highlights potential challenges in the “special relationship” between the two countries. Despite concerns over another Trump presidency, some Labour figures are softening their stance towards the frontrunner. Khan, who won a third term as mayor despite crime issues in London, is adamant about not rolling out the red carpet for Trump if he were to visit. The ongoing tension between Khan and Trump stems from past disagreements, with Trump calling Khan a “stone-cold loser” for failing to address crime and terrorism. As polls suggest a potential Trump return to the White House and Labour victory in the UK, negotiations between the two parties may be necessary for future trade deals. Farage has offered to serve as an ambassador to Washington to facilitate such negotiations, but there seems to be little interest within the Labour Party.
