Donald Trump has laid into London mayor Sadiq Khan over the wave of terror attacks on the capital last year, accusing him of doing "a terrible job".

The US President used the Sun interview to reignite his feud with Mr Khan, who criticised the US president as "ill-informed" over a tweet following the London Bridge attack in June 2017.

Mr Trump also hit out at immigration into Europe, telling the newspaper: "I think allowing millions and millions of people to come into Europe is very, very sad.

"I look at cities in Europe, and I can be specific if you'd like. You have a mayor who has done a terrible job in London. He has done a terrible job.

"Take a look at the terrorism that is taking place. Look at what is going on in London. I think he has done a very bad job on terrorism.

"I think he has done a bad job on crime, if you look, all of the horrible things going on there, with all of the crime that is being brought in."

The verbal attack on Mr Khan came after the London mayor refused to block a plan to fly a giant inflatable "Trump baby" near Parliament to coincide with the US president's visit to the UK.

After the London Bridge terror attack in June last year, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said people should not be alarmed by visibly increased security on the streets of the capital.

Mr Trump sparked a backlash when he tweeted: "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

A spokesman for Mr Khan the Mayor's comments had been deliberately taken out of context.
