Donald Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly's 80th session, where he made a contentious claim about London Mayor Sadiq Khan seeking to impose Sharia law in the city. Trump stated, "I look at London, where you have a terrible mayor... Now they want to go to Sharia law, but you're in a different country". He provided no evidence to support this claim, which has been widely criticized as inflammatory and divisive.
The mayor's office swiftly responded, labeling Trump's comments "wildly inaccurate and fuelling hatred and division". Trump's speech also criticized Europe's migration policies, warning that "your countries are going to hell" due to open borders. He touted his own approach to immigration in the US, claiming it had stopped illegal immigration. The speech has sparked controversy and raised questions about the impact of such rhetoric on social cohesion.
