London Mayor Sadiq Khan has urged Americans not to re-elect former President Trump in the upcoming presidential election, calling it "the most important election in my lifetime."
In an interview with Politico, Khan expressed concern about Trump's policies and rhetoric, which he believes are dangerous and damaging to the world.

"What I'd say in a respectful way to Americans is: I don't think you realize that the rest of the world is watching because we've got skin in the game," Khan said. "What happens in America is the metronome... that sets the beat of what happens across the globe."
Khan, who is in his third term as mayor of London, also criticized Trump's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which he said has been "disastrous." He argued that Trump's focus on downplaying the severity of the virus and promoting unproven treatments has led to unnecessary deaths and suffering.

"The pandemic has exposed the flaws in the American system," Khan said. "It's exposed the inequalities, the injustices, and the lack of leadership."
Khan's comments come as the United States faces a number of challenges, including the ongoing pandemic, economic inequality, and racial injustice. He believes that a change in leadership is necessary to address these issues and restore America's standing in the world.
