Donald Trump Jr faced backlash for criticising London mayor Sadiq Khan with a scornful tweet sent hours after an attack at the Houses of Parliament left five dead, including a police officer and the attacker.

The US presidents eldest son tweeted a link to a September 2016 story in the Independent, which quoted Khan saying terror attacks were part and parcel of living in a big city I want to be reassured that every single agency and individual involved in protecting our city has the resources and expertise they need to respond in the event that London is attacked.

You have to be kidding me?! Trump Jr tweeted, quoting only the headline: Terror attacks are part of living in big city, says London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

Its unclear if the US presidents son read the article or understood that the quote was from six months ago and not a response to the Wednesday attack, which police are treating as a terrorist incident.
