Trump reignites row with 'nasty' Sadiq Khan as Starmer responds

On July 28, 2025, during a joint media event in Scotland with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, President Donald Trump described London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan as "a nasty person" and criticized his performance in office.
Trump's comments came amid his four-day private visit to Scotland starting July 25, where he also confirmed plans to meet Prime Minister Starmer and visit London during a state visit in September.
During the press call, Starmer interrupted to defend Khan, saying, 'He's a friend of mine,' while Trump's remarks echoed a long-standing feud including past criticisms going back to 2017 and 2019.
Trump also addressed migration issues in Europe, cautioning that the continent’s future is at risk if unauthorized immigration persists, and commended the Starmer government's firmer immigration policies, connecting these topics to wider US-UK conversations on trade, Iran, and the conflict in Ukraine.
The confrontation underscores ongoing tensions between Trump and Khan ahead of the US president’s planned state visit to the UK, suggesting political friction will continue influencing diplomatic and public discourse.
