HeadlineJun 06, 2017

London Mayor Sadiq Khan is calling for President Trump’s state visit to Britain to be canceled, after Trump misquoted and then berated the mayor following Saturday’s attack in London, which killed seven people. Sadiq Khan is London’s first Muslim mayor. After the attack, Trump tweeted, “At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is 'no reason to be alarmed!'” In fact, Khan had been speaking about the increased police presence in the city when he said there was no reason to be alarmed.
