President Trump unleashed a political attack on the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, during his address at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, appearing to falsely claim that Mr. Khan wanted to put Britain’s capital under Islamic religious law. “I look at London where you have a terrible mayor, a terrible, terrible mayor,” the president said. “It’s been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to Shariah law, but you’re in a different country; you can’t do that.”While Mr. Trump used the word “they” without specifying whom that referred to, his words echoed a conspiracy theory focused on Mr. Khan and his Muslim faith that has long been circulated by the far right and that has been linked to death threats against the mayor. In a statement after Mr. Trump’s speech, Mr. Khan’s office said it would not “dignify his appalling and bigoted comments with a response” but added, “London is the greatest city in the world, safer than major U.S. cities, and we’re delighted to welcome the record number of U.S. citizens moving here.”
