Sadiq Khan is on a four-day trip to New York during which he hopes to hit the headlines by expressing opposition to Donald Trump regaining the US presidency.
The London mayor, who was described by Mr Trump as a “stone cold loser” during a presidential visit to the UK in 2019, is expected to use a series of media interviews to endorse current vice-president Kamala Harris.
Mr Khan will speak at several events: the Concordia Annual Summit, the Climate Pledge Summit and the NYC Climate Week Hub.
He will look to link a discussion about the summer riots in the UK and the need for economic migration with concern at the policies he expects Mr Trump to follow should he win a second term in November.
He will deliver the keynote address at a Clinton Global Initiative session on “Leveraging Technology and Nature for Equitable Urban Resilience”.
Mr Khan is expected to describe the Londonwide Ulez (ultra-low emission zone) as being “even more successful than expected”, in terms of accelerating the switch to Ulez-compliant vehicles by motorists.
He is nothing, just another city mayor who wants to be a player on the world stage, yawn.....
