Overview

• Speaking at the UN General Assembly, President Donald Trump alleged without evidence that Khan seeks to introduce Islamic Sharia law in London and called him a "terrible mayor."
• Khan responded on Sky News by calling Trump racist, sexist, misogynistic and Islamophobic, and he rejected the allegation outright.
• Reporting from multiple outlets notes Trump offered no proof for the claim as he folded it into broader criticisms of Europe.
• In the same UN speech, Trump warned Western European countries about migration, cited London as transformed by it and said, "Your countries are going to hell."
• Khan defended London as a liberal, multicultural and successful city, pointing to strong foreign investment, while coverage situates the clash within their long-running public disputes.
