US Presidential candidate Donald Trump has said on Monday he
was “happy” that London had elected its first Muslim Mayor and exempt that
newly elected London Mayor Sadiq Khan who is a Muslim from his Muslim US ban if
he becomes president.
Mayor Khan had earlier said that he had to go to America
before November 2016 so he won't be banned in case Trump becomes President. But
the Billionaire business man says that the new Mayor is an exemption from his
previous comments on banning Muslims entering into the US if he becomes president
According to New York Times, “There will always be
exceptions,” Mr. Trump said when asked in an interview on Monday how his
proposed ban would affect London’s new mayor, Sadiq Khan.
“I was happy to see that,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Khan’s
election. “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.”
Asked why, Mr. Trump said, “Because I think if he does a
great job, it will really — you lead by example, always lead by example. If he
does a good job and frankly if he does a great job, that would be a terrific
thing.”
Mr. Khan, in an interview with Time magazine after his
election, said
“If Donald Trump becomes the president I’ll be stopped from
going there by virtue of my faith, which means I can’t engage with American
mayors and swap ideas,”
