He added: "You have to be kidding me?!: Terror attacks are part of living in big city, says London Mayor Sadiq Khan".
The interview was taken out of context and it's not clear whether Trump Jr understood that the quote was from six months ago and not from the Wednesday attack.
In the Independent article, Khan was speaking after a meeting with New York Mayor Bill De Blasio following the bombing in Chelsea, New York City, and nearby towns that wounded 29 people.
After revealing he had a "sleepless night" after the attacks, the London mayor said:
"It is a reality I'm afraid that London, New York, other major cities around the world have got to be prepared for these sorts of things."
"That means being vigilant, having a police force that is in touch with communities, it means the security services being ready, but also it means exchanging ideas and best practice."" he said.
People on Twitter were quick to slam Trump Jr. for the tweet, accusing him of exploiting the tragedy.
Wes Streeting, the MP for Ilford North and former president of the National Union of Students, tweeted at him:
