Donald Trump Accuses Sadiq Khan Of Introducing Sharia Law To London In Rambling UN Speech

Donald Trump has accused Sadiq Khan of planning to introduce Sharia Law to London as he reignited his long-running feud with the London mayor.

The US president said Khan was a “terrible terrible mayor” during a rambling speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Trump also took aim at Keir Starmer’s policies on North Sea oil exploration as he claimed windmills were “ruining” the Scottish and English countryside.

The government has said it will not issue any new drilling licences for the North Sea, although it will not cancel those which are already in place.

Trump’s comments were in stark contrast to the more conciliatory tone he struck during last week’s state visit to Britain.

Trump said: “I look at London, where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor, and it’s been changed, it’s been so changed.

“Now they want to go to Sharia Law. But you are in a different country, you can’t do that.

“Both the immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of western Europe if something isn’t done immediately. This cannot be sustained.”

He said the North Sea oil industry is “so highly taxed that no developer, no oil company can go there” in the UK.

“They’ve given up their powerful edge, a lot of the countries that we’re talking about, in oil and gas, such as essentially closing the great North Sea oil. Oh, the North Sea. I know it so well.”

The president went on: “Aberdeen was the oil capital of Europe and there’s tremendous oil that hasn’t been found in the North Sea – tremendous oil.

“And I was with the [Keir Starmer] – I respect and like a lot – and I said, ‘you’re sitting with the greatest asset’. They essentially closed it by making it so highly-taxed that no developer, no oil company, can go there.

“They have tremendous oil left and, more importantly, they have tremendous oil that hasn’t even been found yet. And what a tremendous asset for the United Kingdom, and I hope the prime minister’s listening because I told it to him three days in a row – that’s all he heard. North Sea oil, North Sea’.”
