Presidential hopeful Donald Trump has said the newly elected mayor of London would be an “exception” to his proposed ban on Muslims travelling to the US.Because of his faith, Sadiq Khan had expressed concern that he would not be able to visit the US if Mr Trump were elected.
Mr Trump proposed a ban on Muslims entering the US after attacks in Paris killed 130 people last year.
“There will always be exceptions,” the Republican businessman said.
The temporary ban has been widely criticised in the US and abroad but Mr Trump has stood by the proposal, saying it is needed to ensure US security.
Mr Trump said he was “happy” that Mr Khan would be leading London.
