PM defends mayor against 'ridiculous' Trump claims

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has defended Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan against what he called "ridiculous" claims made by former US President Donald Trump. Trump had made statements about Khan during a speech at the United Nations General Assembly. Starmer expressed his support for Khan, stating that the mayor has his full backing. The Prime Minister dismissed Trump's comments as baseless and unfounded, saying they do not align with the reality of Khan's leadership and the progress made in London under his tenure. The article highlights the ongoing tension between Khan and Trump, with the current UK government taking a clear stance in support of the mayor. Starmer's defense of Khan underscores the importance of maintaining strong political relationships and addressing criticism with facts and evidence rather than engaging in personal attacks.
