London Mayor Sadiq Khan has warned Americans against re-electing former President Trump.
“What I’d say in a respectful way to Americans is: I don’t think you realize that the rest of the world is watching because we’ve got skin in the game,” Khan reportedly said in an interview with Politico.
“What happens in America is the metronome… that sets the beat of what happens across the globe,” Khan, who is in his third term as mayor of London, told the outlet while in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly. “It sets the beat for how other politicians behave in an election campaign.”
Khan, a left-leaning Labour Party member, claimed that Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris climate accords, efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and rhetoric about women and immigrants are dangerous, according to Politico. He encouraged Americans to consider Trump’s first term.
