<p>It is the latest insult to be fired between Mr Khan and the US president, in what has been a long-running feud.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>Mr Trump called Mr Khan a “stone cold loser”, mocked his height and misspelt his name in a tweet sent as he touched down in Air Force One for a state visit to the UK earlier this month.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">.<a href="https://twitter.com/SadiqKhan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SadiqKhan</a>, who by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London, has been foolishly “nasty” to the visiting President of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom. He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1135453891326238721?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2019</a></p></blockquote>

<p>And more recently the president dubbed Mr Khan a “disaster” on Twitter and called him a “national disgrace who is destroying the city of London”, as he criticised the mayor’s record on crime in the capital.</p>
<p>In a room full of teachers at the Together For Education event in Westminster’s Central Hall on Saturday Mr Khan joked that he had made sure to switch his phone off.</p>
<p>He added: “For those of you that have your phones on, if somebody starts tweeting about me – a 6ft 3 child in the White House – can you let me know?”</p>
<p>The remark prompted laughter, cheers and applause from those gathered.</p>
<p>It was the latest salvo in a transatlantic exchange that has seen Mr Khan describe Mr Trump as a “poster boy for racists” and remark that the president appears “obsessed” with him.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">From rolling back women&#39;s reproductive rights to defending far-right nationalists &#8211; President Trump&#39;s behaviour flies in the face of ideals America was founded upon. </p>
<p>As the US&#39;s closest friends we have a duty to speak out. My interview with <a href="https://twitter.com/CNN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CNN</a>:<a href="https://t.co/xs67IKboyf">pic.twitter.com/xs67IKboyf</a></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Earlier this week Tory leadership hopeful Jeremy Hunt said he agrees “150%” with Mr Trump’s assessment of Mr Khan’s record on tackling knife crime.</p>
<p>Foreign Secretary Mr Hunt said the president “has his own style” and he “would not use those words myself”.</p>
<p>He added: “But the sentiment is enormous disappointment that we have a Mayor of London who has completely failed to tackle knife crime and has spent more time on politics than the actual business of making Londoners safer and in that I 150% agree with the president.”</p>
