Sadiq Khan mocks Trump for golfing as Hurricane Dorian threatens US

LONDON mayor Sadiq Khan has reignited his feud with US president Donald Trump by mocking him for playing golf as Hurricane Dorian moved close to the US.

Khan made the comments after Trump pulled out of a trip to Poland for an event commemorating the 80th anniversary of the invasion of the country. Trump announced on Thursday that he was canceling his planned trip to Warsaw to stay in the United States to monitor the strengthening Hurricane Dorian.


Trump spent his Monday (2) playing golf at his Trump National Golf Club in Virginia.

At the ceremony in Poland on Sunday (1), Khan told Politico:"He's clearly busy dealing with a hurricane out on the golf course."

Khan, who is London’s first Muslim mayor, also slammed Trump saying things that are "deeply objectionable" and amplifying "tweets of fascists."

Trump “is a guy who amplifies racist tweets; amplifies the tweets of fascists; says things that are deeply objectionable. If I don’t stand up and call that out I think I’m doing a disservice to Londoners who chose me as their mayor.”

The war of words between Trump and Khan has been going on ever since the London mayor criticised Trump's travel ban on people from certain Muslim countries.

Earlier this year, Trump said London needed a new mayor as "Khan is a disaster." He also called Khan a "stone cold loser" and a "national disgrace who is destroying the city of London."

On a trip to London in July last year, Trump accused Khan of doing "a very bad job on terrorism," linking immigration to a deadly wave of crime in London.
