Donald Trump has again been criticising London mayor Sadiq Khan, blaming his leadership for a spate of violence in London which tragically saw 4 people killed in just 3 days.

Although London could be safer, data compiled by The Metro from the Met Police and a violent crimes survey in the US show that the murder rate for London is still considerably below some of the worst cities in the USA.
-
In St. Louis for example there were 205 people murdered in 2017, in a population of just 318,000. That's a rate of more than 40x that seen in London.
-
Even the home of the White House, Washington DC, had an incidence rate more than 10x that of the UK capital.
