Donald Trump’s win shows the need to build a world where “racism and hatred is rejected”, London Mayor Sadiq Khan said.
The mayor and the US president-elect have had a long-running feud dating back to before Mr Trump’s first term in the White House.
After Mr Trump claimed victory over Kamala Harris on Wednesday, Mr Khan said he understands “many Londoners will be anxious” and “fearful about what it will mean for democracy and for women’s rights”.
He said they may also have concerns about what a Trump victory means for “the situation in the Middle East or the fate of Ukraine”, while “others will be worried about the future of Nato or tackling the climate crisis”.
Mr Khan said: “London is – and will always be – for everyone. We will always be pro-women, pro-diversity, pro-climate and pro-human rights.
