Trump exempt London Mayor from US Muslim ban if elected US President

Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump has said he would make an exception for London’s new Muslim mayor after he proposed the US Muslim ban. Trump proposed a ban on Muslims from entering the United States in December, some days after 14 people were killed by terrorists in San Bernardino, California.

The elected London mayor, Sadiq Khan expressed worries that he would not be able to visit the United States if Trump were elected in November, on Saturday.

“There will always be exceptions”, Trump said in her interview published on Monday.

Trump who has alienated many Americans with insults against immigrants, Muslims and women, welcomed Khan’s election.

“I was happy to see that,” he said. “I think it’s a very good thing, and I hope he does a very good job because frankly that would be very, very good.”

“If he does a good job, and frankly if he does a great job, that would be a terrific thing,” he added

Khan, whose parents are Pakistani immigrants, is London’s first Muslim mayor.

“I want to go to America to meet with and engage with American mayors,” he told Time magazine.

“If Donald Trump becomes the president I’ll be stopped from going there by virtue of my faith,” he said, adding he was confident “Donald Trump’s approach to politics” would not win.
