Khan has not addressed Trump’s comments directly, although a spokesperson for the London Mayor did release a statement on Twitter.

“The Mayor is busy working with the police, emergency services, and the government to coordinate the response to this horrific and cowardly terrorist attack and provide leadership and reassurance to Londoners and visitors to our city,” it read.

Emphasising that Khan has “more important things to do” than worry about what Trump has to say about him, the statement added: “He has more important things to do than respond to Donald Trump’s ill-informed tweet that deliberately takes out of context his remarks urging Londoners not to be alarmed when they saw more police – including armed officers – on the streets.”
