London Won’t ‘Roll Out Red Carpet’ For Donald Trump, Says Mayor Sadiq Khan

London Mayor Sadiq Khan says the British capital will not “roll out the red carpet” for US President Donald Trump during his planned state visit.

“State visits are different from a normal visit, and at a time when the president of the USA has policies that many in our country disagree with, I am not sure it is appropriate for our government to roll out the red carpet,” Khan told CNN.

“If someone has views that I think can be changed, I am ready to play my role.

“If you somehow think it is not possible to be a Muslim and a proud Westerner, I am happy to disabuse you of that idea, whether you are a reporter for CNN or Donald Trump,” he added.

Last week, the White House confirmed Trump’s state visit to the UK has been delayed until 2018.

Prime Minister Theresa May officially invited Trump in January. That sparked a backlash which saw nearly 2 million people sign an online petition seeking to block Trump’s trip over fears that it would “cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen.”
