Trump tells GB News climate change is 'a hoax' and London has 'sharia law' no-go areas
During a November 2025 GB News interview, Donald Trump made multiple false claims that went unchallenged by the interviewer. Trump falsely claimed that human-induced climate change was 'a hoax' and that London had police 'no-go areas' governed by 'sharia law.' These verifiably false statements were broadcast without challenge or correction. In February 2026, the UK's media regulator Ofcom declined to investigate complaints about the interview, drawing sharp criticism from media experts including Chris Banatvala, Ofcom's founding director of standards, who called the decision 'astounding' and said 'if there were ever a case that merited investigation for the broadcast of potentially misleading material and a failure to meet due impartiality requirements, this was it.'

AI commentaryThis event represents a significant instance of Trump spreading disinformation on an international platform.

The 'sharia law no-go areas' claim about London is a debunked conspiracy theory that has been repeatedly fact-checked and disproven. The regulatory aftermath—Ofcom's refusal to investigate despite complaints—highlights how Trump's false claims can be broadcast without accountability, even in jurisdictions with media regulation frameworks.
