Trump has used the London attacks - in which three men plowed a van into pedestrians on the iconic London Bridge and went on a stabbing spree in a nearby market - to promote and call for support for his travel ban.

Police on Monday named two of the attackers and said they were trying to identify the third.

Khan himself hasn't responded to Trump's tweets. We need the courts to give us back our rights. The court is also being asked to uphold the constitutionality of the Trump travel policy.

The president has stepped up his calls for implementing the travel ban following the weekend attacks in London.

"It's a travel pause", Kelly told Fox News. Both orders, aimed at temporarily halting entry to the USA from a half-dozen Muslim-majority countries, have been blocked by the lower courts.

The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) is expected to hear arguments about the Trump executive order on travel within a week.

"In case it's not obvious, these will only undermine the government's case before [SCOTUS] for both a stay & on the merits of the [travel ban]", tweeted out law professor Stephen Vladeck of the University of Texas.

In a series of tweets that began late Saturday, Trump also pushed his stalled travel ban, mocked gun control supporters and pledged that the United States will be there to help London and the United Kingdom.

Trump was commenting Sunday evening on the vehicle and knife attack that killed at least seven people in London at the conclusion of a Sunday night fundraiser for Ford's Theater, scene of one of the most famous acts of bloodshed in American history: the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.

The president's statement discounted the full context of Khan's remarks.

"Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days".

"However, there was no intelligence to suggest that this attack was being planned, and the investigation had been prioritized accordingly", police said. "There's no reason to be alarmed".

The London mayor urged his constituents to remain vigilant because "an attack across the country is still highly likely".

"Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his "no reason to be alarmed" statement".
