London Mayor Sadiq Khan says he is ‘indifferent’ to Donald Trump

  • London Mayor Sadiq Khan declared himself "indifferent" to Donald Trump, stating he has "more important things to worry about".
  • This statement followed Trump's claim that he requested Khan's exclusion from state visit events in the UK.
  • Trump had previously labelled Sir Sadiq "among the worst mayors in the world", criticising his handling of crime and immigration in London.
  • Trump alleged Khan wanted to attend the state visit, but Khan's office had clarified weeks prior that he did not seek or expect an invitation.
  • The ongoing dispute between the two figures dates back to at least 2015, escalating through incidents such as Trump's Muslim travel ban suggestion and the "Trump baby blimp".
