The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, is looking to attract companies away from the United States

“London has returned,” the mayor of the capital, Sadad Khan, told CNBC on Wednesday.

“At a time when international instability is increasing, at a time when it was, to be honest, and volatile political water in the United States, we are rare – somewhere stable, this is open, this is diverse. A great environment for innovation, creativity and business,” said London mayor Tania Brayer.

The position of US President Donald Trump has often rocked the policies of trade, immigration and visa markets, as well as companies, tourists and students who are looking to make the United States their base.

Khan said that the United Kingdom has witnessed an increase in interest from American companies and individuals looking to avoid unconfirmed economic times and societal changes at home.

“They are our closest ally … so I do not see America as a competition, and I see them our great partner, and our long partner may continue, but I realize the truth of the past few months that some American companies, individuals and people are in different sectors, for a variety of reasons, looking for a new place.”

“My message is very simple: Actually in London, we have everything you may want, not only in terms of our stability, openness and diversity, but our values ​​as well.”

There is no lost love between Khan and Trump with the former In 2019, the president described as a “sticker” of the extreme right. Trump again launched at the time, describing the mayor as “a cool stone loser who should focus on crime in London, not me.”

With Trump winning a second term in office last November, critics like Khan had to take a more diplomatic position because the UK government under the Labor Party, which Khan belongs, is looking forward to building bridges with the Trump administration.

Despite their political differences, Prime Minister Kiir Starmer seems to have led to his preference with Anglophile Trump, with the leaders apparently appearing well and Starmer won a required commercial deal with the United States last monthAvoid many punitive commercial tariffs facing all other US allies and opponents.

Khan said: “The important thing is that we all set aside personal views when it is useful to the national to do this,” adding that “we cannot escape from the fact that there are some things that the president said or did that are controversial, and it is really important to talk about the things we agree with, but also on the things we disagree with.”
