When asked about the comments, London Mayor Sadiq Khan told the BBC, "I think President Trump has shown he is racist, he is sexist, he is misogynistic, and he is Islamophobic."
"People are wondering what it is about this Muslim mayor who leads a liberal, multicultural, progressive and successful city, that means I appear to be living rent-free inside Donald Trump's head," Khan continued.
"I think one of the advantages of having a special relationship with the USA is obviously when it comes to trade, when it comes to ministry alliances, when it comes to other areas we work close together, but it should also mean you got the confidence to call them out when they are wrong. I think President Trump is wrong in many, many ways," he also said.
