Jeremy Corbyn welcomes cancellation of Trump's visit to UK

"Cancellation of President Trump's State Visit is welcome, especially after his attack on London's mayor & withdrawal from #ParisClimateDeal" Corbyn said on Twitter.

Trump had earlier criticised the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, for his reaction after the terrorist attack that shook the city.

In a tweet, the US president said: "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

Trump's comment came after the terrorist attack on London Bridge.

Reports suggested that UK Prime Minister Theresa May called Trump's comment as "wrong".

On June 2, US President had announced his nation will withdraw from the 2015 Paris climate agreement.

"Therefore, in order to fulfill my solemn duty to protect America and its citizens, the United States will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord -- (applause) -- thank you, thank you -- but begin negotiations to reenter either the Paris Accord or a really entirely new transaction on terms that are fair to the United States, its businesses, its workers, its people, its taxpayers," Trump said.

Trump said moves to negotiate a new 'fair' deal would begin.

The US President alleged that the agreement provided better deal to "some of the world's highly polluting countries" like India and China.

The agreement doesn’t eliminate coal jobs, it just transferred those jobs out of the United States, and shipped them to foreign countries, he added.

May has earlier invited the US President to the United Kingdom for a visit.

In the recently concluded election, the Labour Party managed to secure 261 seats, improving its performance from the last time.

After the result, tweeted Jeremy Corbyn, ".@Theresa_May thought that with the backing of the billionaires and the corporate elite, she could take your vote for granted."
