The Labour politician also warned against the rise of terrorism and radicalisation within Britain.

He said: “We saw in the last year-and-a-half, Londoners born and raised in our city radicalised in their bedrooms to the extent where they jump on a plane and go to Syria.

“The best way it has been explained to me is that the bad guys are evolving.”

He added: “Inadvertently President Trump is playing into the hands of ISIS and Daesh by giving the impression that being a Muslim is incompatible with being a friend of America and visiting America.”

“So I am in favour of explaining to President Trump why it is important for us to build bridges not walls.”

His warning comes just days after thousands signed a petition to remove Mr Khan from his London Mayor post.
