US President Donald Trump seizes on London terror attack to promote Muslim travel ban and condemn political correctness
Seven people were killed and at least 48 people were injured in the attack, the third to hit Britain in less than three months
At least 48 people were injured in the attack, the third to hit Britain in less than three months and occurring days ahead of a snap parliamentary election on Thursday.
“We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people,” Trump wrote on Sunday morning. “If we don’t get smart it will only get worse.”
He continued: “At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is ‘no reason to be alarmed!’
“Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? That’s because they used knives and a truck!”
London Mayor Sadiq Khan – elected last year and the first Muslim to head a major Western capital – had earlier said Britons should not be alarmed to see a higher police presence on the streets of London following the incident.
