United Kingdom police detain a 'number of people' over London Bridge attack

With every controversial tweet, alienating allies and further driving off any Democrats that might have been inclined to cross the aisle, Trump makes his job more hard.

President Trump used the attack to criticise Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and promote his own Muslim travel ban.

"It's a case of ISIS coming to you rather than you coming to it", he said.

The Borough neighborhood in London offered safety and a place to sleep for hundreds of people amid the chaos of Saturday night's attack in the heart of the city.

The injured included a London transport police officer who was one of the first responders on the scene.

Assistant Police Commissioner Mark Rowley said Sunday that police need to establish whether others were involved in planning Saturday night's vehicle and knife attack on London Bridge and at nearby restaurants. Instead, Trump was circulating speculation. "And that's it. We'll post a full summary shortly", The Guardian quoted May as saying.

Trump has said the travel ban is needed to protect Americans from terrorist attacks. Or perhaps Trump cottoned onto it himself.

"We are committed to working in partnership with the government and NGOs to tackle these challenging and complex problems, and share the government's commitment to ensuring terrorists do not have a voice online", the statement, attributed to a United Kingdom -based Google spokesperson, said.

He might have left things there.

“We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. "We will never let these cowards win and we will never be cowed by terrorism", he said in a statement.

Trump added he had pledged the United States' "unwavering support" to Prime Minister May following the attack.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility.

Most police officers in Britain are not armed and it is unusual for officers to fire their guns. Trump's social media director, Dan Scavino, later tweeted at Khan himself, telling him "WAKE UP!" Instead, he went out and played golf for the second day in a row.

In an appearance on NBC's "Today Show", Conway said people should pay attention to what the president is doing, saying people in England had tried to inform authorities about the terrorists before the attacks happened.

By then, though, many Britons had taken to Trump's favorite medium and made perfectly clear their feelings about him and his unsolicited comments.

According to Gasparri, the man said he was "ready to do whatever I need to do in the name of Allah". "Utterly horrid man", Sam Baxter, a local Conservative councillor from Warrington, Lancashire, said.

Friend Isabelle Oderberg tweeted: "We have found Geoff".

Perhaps the most magisterial response came from the author J. K. Rowling.

Her main opponent, Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, backed calls for her resignation over the police cuts.

Police shot dead the male assailants in the Borough Market area within eight minutes of receiving the first emergency call.

Regarding the leader's plug for his contested travel ban - which has been blocked by the courts - Cecillia Wang, deputy legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, tweeted "We need to be outraged when the president exploits a awful violent crime to push his discriminatory and illegal policy".

The criticism didn't have any effect, of course.

Last week, the Justice Department formally asked the Supreme Court to let a ban be put in place.
