London Mayor Sadiq Khan blasts ‘racism and hatred’ as Trump triumphs – POLITICO

LONDON — Mayor of London Sadiq Khan risked reigniting a years-long feud with Donald Trump Wednesday as he said the U.S. presidential election result shows “progress is not inevitable” and hit out at “racism and hatred.”

Khan, a frequent critic of Trump’s during his first term and a prominent member of Britain’s governing Labour Party, fired out a punchy statement as the U.S. Republican claimed victory, warning that Londoners will be “anxious” about the outcome.

“Many will be fearful about what it will mean for democracy and for women’s rights, or how the result impacts the situation in the Middle East or the fate of Ukraine,” he said. “Others will be worried about the future of NATO or tackling the climate crisis.”
