Sadiq Khan renews beef with US president, criticizing him for canceling trip to Poland to commemorate start of World War II.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan renewed his rivalry with Donald Trump, mocking the U.S. president for “dealing with a hurricane out on the golf course” over the weekend.
Khan’s comments came after Trump pulled out of a trip to Poland to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the start of World War II to concentrate on Hurricane Dorian, but then played golf at his private club in Virginia.
“He’s clearly busy dealing with a hurricane out on the golf course,” Khan, who traveled to Poland to attend a commemoration ceremony on Sunday, told POLITICO’s London Playbook.

I knew when it was announced that Trump canceled his travel plans that his reason was bogus. Why would he have to stay home because of a hurricane? Anything that was needed could have been done by VP Pence and Trump could have stayed in touch by telephone if necessary.
Trump was miffed because he found out at G7 that he couldn’t bully our European allies. He also found out he couldn’t just but Greenland from the Danes. Our European allies see right through him. They know he’s an idiot and a paper tiger. That’s why he did not want to make this trip. Had nothing to do with Dorian.
He sounds like a little boy whining about getting caught skipping school. https://t.co/YeewBkZQKY
