UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has defended President Donald Trump’s comments about knife crime in London, saying that he “150 percent” backs the president’s sentiments over the city’s mayor, Sadiq Khan.

Reacting to the recent spate of attacks in London that left four dead in four days, Trump blamed Khan for the rise in violence, while warning that the situation could get worse.
