However, as The Telegraph reports, Khan has now spoken out, saying the US president"s state visit to the UK should be cancelled.

Following Tim Farron"s, leader of the Liberal Democrat party, comments that Trump"s invitation to visit the UK should be withdrawn. Mr Khan said Mr Trump had been wrong about "many things" and that the Government should cancel his state visit to the UK, which is expected to take place in October.

“I don’t think we should roll out the red carpet to the president of the USA in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for,” he said.

“When you have a special relationship it is no different from when you have got a close mate. You stand with them in times of adversity but you call them out when they are wrong.

"There are many things about which Donald Trump is wrong.”

Theresa May, the Prime Minister, defended the mayor, while stopping short of directly criticising Mr Trump.

"I think Sadiq Khan is doing a good job and it"s wrong to say anything else - he"s doing a good job," she told reporters at an election campaign event in London.

The White House on Monday denied suggestions from US reporters that Mr Trump "picked a fight" with Mr Khan "because he was Muslim".

"I think that to suggest something like that is utterly ridiculous," Sarah Sanders, the deputy White House press secretary, told reporters.
