London Mayor Sadiq Khan escalated his war of words with President Trump late Monday, suggesting the U.S. president’s planned state visit to Britain should be canceled. The comment comes amid a spat between the two leaders in the wake of Saturday’s London terror attack. “At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is ‘no reason to be alarmed!’” Trump wrote. It’s unclear whether the dispute will have any broader implications for the visit agreed to during Prime Minister Theresa May’s January visit to Washington. But Khan, who made a similar call to block Trump's visit back in February, suggested in the Monday interview he sees his stance as one of tough love for an important ally.
