London's first Muslim mayor fears Donald Trump would keep him out of U.S.
- 8 years ago
London's first Muslim mayor, Sadiq Khan, fears he wouldn't be allowed to visit the U.S. if Donald Trump were elected president.
"If Donald Trump becomes the president, I’ll be stopped from going there by virtue of my faith, which means I can’t engage with American mayors and swap ideas,” Khan told Time magazine.
Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, first proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States in December after the Paris terrorist attacks and San Bernardino, California, mass shooting.
Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowki told ABC News the day Trump announced his proposal that "the ban applies to everyone."
Regardless of this election's outcome, Khan stated he intends to visit America before January, in case Trump indeed wins.
