The US ambassador to Britain, Lewis Lukens, directly contradicted President Trump and threw his support behind London Mayor Sadiq Khan in a series of tweets on Sunday.

The top diplomat in London praised Sadiq Khan, the city’s mayor, after criticism from his boss, President Donald Trump, over the deadly attacks from the night before.

‘I commend the strong leadership of the @MayorofLondon as he leads the city forward after this heinous attack,’ Lukens said in a post, quoted on the US embassy’s Twitter account.

Lukens, 53, also praised the ‘extraordinary’ response from Londoners and emergency services.

He officially holds the title of charge d’affaires ad interim, a position he assumed on January 17 of this year – three days before Trump’s inauguration.

Just prior to Trump taking the oath of office, the previous ambassador, Matthew Barzun, was asked to step down – as were all envoys appointed by the president’s predecessor, Barack Obama.
