As Donald Trump continued to criticize Sadiq Khan on Monday, the London mayor responded by reconfirming his long-held stance that the U.K. should not host a state visit in the president’s honor. Trump’s tweet came under sharp criticism as other world leaders sent messages of support and solidarity to the U.K. Amid the backlash, Trump followed up with yet another tweet attacking Khan. “I think one of the things when you have a special relationship, it’s no different to when you’ve got a close mate,” Khan continued. And there are many things about which Donald Trump is wrong.”Trump’s state visit to Britain has been met with scrutiny since the topic arose in January, with a U.K. petition opposing the trip racking up 1.8 million signatures. British Parliament debated the topic in February and decided that Trump should be invited for an official visit.
