Khan has long accused Trump of fueling far-right and divisive politics, while Trump has dismissed the mayor\u2019s critiques by pointing to London\u2019s governance challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his latest op-ed, Khan wrote that Trump has \u201cprobably played the greatest role in fanning the flames of far-right divisive politics globally\u201d in recent years. He also likened Trump\u2019s decision to deploy the National Guard to U.S. cities to the actions of authoritarian rulers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"329\" height=\"179\" src=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-19-132658.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-133887\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-19-132658.png 329w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-19-132658-300x163.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The mayor emphasized that while Britain must maintain its close ties with the United States, the so-called \u201cspecial relationship\u201d should not mean unconditional approval of U.S. policies. \u201cSometimes the truth must be spoken plainly,\u201d he noted, stressing that he opposes policies that spread fear and division, even as he acknowledges the pragmatic necessity of strong U.S.-UK relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The BBC report highlighted that no meeting between Khan and Trump is planned during this visit. Analysts argue that Khan\u2019s remarks reflect both his longstanding personal clash with Trump and broader European unease with U.S. policies under his leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commentators also suggest that the mayor\u2019s outspoken stance underscores the role of dissenting voices in international relations, particularly at a time when Trump\u2019s policies continue to polarize global opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London\u2019s Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, has renewed his criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump, publishing an article in The Guardian that coincides with Trump\u2019s official visit to Britain.
