Wednesday, September 24, 2025 - President Donald Trump, speaking before the United Nations General Assembly, falsely claimed that London’s Muslim mayor intends to implement Sharia law, as part of a long-winded speech on migration and Europe’s perceived decline.
Trump began by criticizing London’s leadership, calling the
mayor “terrible” multiple times. “I look at London, where you have a terrible
mayor, terrible, terrible mayor, and it’s been so changed,” he said. He then
added, “Now they want to go to Sharia law.”
The remarks were part of a broader argument on what he
described as the destructive effects of migration in Europe. “Europe has been
invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody has ever seen before,” Trump
said. He further warned that unless decisive action is taken, “Both the
immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe
if something is not done immediately.”
Trump also accused the UN of supporting these trends,
claiming the organization was “funding an assault on Western countries and
their borders.” He repeatedly emphasized that Europe was in “serious trouble,”
and warned that its current trajectory could not be sustained.
In his address, Trump returned to his claims about London,
insisting that the city had undergone dramatic changes under the mayor. “I look
at London, where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor, and it’s
been changed, it’s been so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia law. But you
are in a different country, you can’t do that,” he said, reinforcing his
narrative that European governance and immigration policies were endangering
the continent.
Experts have widely debunked the claim that London’s mayor
is seeking to implement Sharia law. While the mayor is Muslim, UK law remains
secular, and Sharia law in the country is only applicable in very limited civil
matters through voluntary arbitration tribunals, which cannot override national
legislation.
