In a recent TV interview, former President Donald Trump resumed his ongoing dispute with London Mayor Sadiq Khan, making unfounded accusations without opposition. Trump criticized Khan, labeling him as a “terrible mayor” and linking him to the perceived crime issues in London.
Contrary to Trump’s claims, official data shows a decrease in violent crimes in London, with a 6% reduction in recorded violence against individuals in the past year. Statistics indicate that London residents face lower risks of violent crime compared to other regions in England and Wales.
Trump continued his verbal attack on Khan, alleging that London has deteriorated under the mayor’s leadership, referencing incidents of violence including stabbings. However, reports show that Trump’s assertions about no-go zones and Sharia Law in London are baseless and not grounded in reality.
Moreover, Trump asserted that his speech at the UN General Assembly was deliberately undermined, alleging technical malfunctions and intentional disruptions by the UN. However, it is common practice at the UN for delegates to listen to translated speeches through earpieces rather than amplified sound in the main hall.
