London Mayor Sadiq Khan Slams US At World Mayors Meet; ‘Trump Is Head Of Climate Wreckers’ | Hindustan Times

London Mayor Sadiq Khan strongly criticised major polluting nations — calling them “climate wreckers” — at the 2025 C40 World Mayors Summit in Rio de Janeiro, ahead of COP30. Khan directly named US President Donald Trump, condemning his claim at the UN General Assembly that climate change is “the greatest hoax in the world.” Khan warned of “boiling temperatures, pollution and climate disasters” caused by fossil fuel dependence, urging global cooperation through initiatives like C40. The summit, held from November 3–5, gathers leaders from nearly 100 cities to promote sustainable, equitable urban futures before COP30 in Brazil.
