Asked by Sky News about the tweets, Hunt said that Khan "has made some pretty choice insults about Donald Trump" and that the "spat" started because he and other Labour politicians chose to boycott the visit.However, in his Observer piece, Khan hinted at a string of Trump's actions that have sparked controversy in the UK throughout his presidency, including his decision to retweet anti-Muslim videos posted by the deputy leader of far-right group Britain First and his criticism of British authorities following the London Bridge terror attack in 2017.At the time, the president accused Khan of having to "think fast" and come up with a "pathetic excuse" when the mayor told Londoners not to be alarmed in the wake of the attack – prompting Khan to call for the cancellation of his planned visit.Mayor of London Sadiq Khan"Through his words and actions, he has given comfort to far-right political leaders, and it's no coincidence that his former campaign manager, Steve Bannon, has been touring the world, spreading hateful views and bolstering the far right wherever he goes," Khan wrote in Sunday's article, which he retweeted on Monday."That's why it's so un-British to be rolling out the red carpet for a state visit for a president whose behaviour flies in the face of the ideals America was founded upon - equality, liberty and religious freedom."In an interview with The Sun newspaper last week, Trump backed Boris Johnson in the Conservative leadership race."I think Boris would do a very good job.
