Howdy Modi Event: Mass protests to be held at the event

<p>US President Donald Trump launched a fresh attack Saturday on <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/london-mayor-sadiq-khan-named-uk-politician-of-the-year-202239">London Mayor Sadiq Khan</a>, backing a right-wing British columnist who has been widely accused of Islamophobia and once called migrants "cockroaches."</p>

<p>"LONDON needs a new mayor ASAP. Khan is a disaster - will only get worse!" Trump wrote in response to Hopkins' tweet, later adding the mayor was "a national disgrace who is destroying" the city.</p>
