London Mayor Decries UK State Banquet For Trump

London Mayor Sadiq Khan is opposed to the United Kingdom hosting Trump for a state visit.

“Of course we should have a close relationship with the president of the United States, but we shouldn’t be rolling out the red carpet, we shouldn’t have a state banquet,” Khan said Friday in an interview with British talk radio station LBC.

Citing Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, the only two presidents to make state visits to the U.K., Khan said, “President Trump is not in the same class as those two.”
