US President Donald Trump said Sunday the attack in London showed it was time to « stop being politically correct, » warning the threat will only grow worse otherwise.
« We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don’t get smart it will only get worse, » Trump said in a tweet.
In a series of early morning tweets, Trump also poured scorn on London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s attempt to reassure the public after three assailants smashed a van into pedestrians on London Bridge on Saturday then attacked revellers with knives.
« At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is ‘no reason to be alarmed!' » he said in one tweet.
In another tweet, Trump derided gun control advocates.
« Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? That’s because they used knives and a truck! »
The attack in central London came just a fortnight after a suicide bombing in Manchester left 22 dead and recalled an attack in March when a man drove a car into pedestrians near the seat of Parliament, killing five.
British Prime Minister Theresa May blamed « evil » Islamist ideology for Saturday’s attack.
