An American war hero’s father who has emerged as a vocal critic of President Donald Trump has cancelled a scheduled speech this week in Toronto after learning his “travel privileges” were under review in the United States, organizers said Monday. In a statement posted on Facebook by RamsayTalks, the Toronto organization putting on Tuesday’s event, Khizr Khan apologized for the cancellation. “This turn of events is not just of deep concern to me but to all my fellow Americans who cherish our freedom to travel abroad,” Khan said. “If it was up to Donald Trump, he never would have been in America. Donald Trump consistently smears the character of Muslims.”Khan reminded Trump that people of “all faiths, genders and ethnicities” are among the war heroes buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
