'I'm not a racist': Trump's denial after 's***hole countries' controversy
- In a swift response to reports on Thursday that President Trump questioned why the US should permit more immigrants from "shithole" countries, the Congressional Black Congress criticized Trump, adding that his slogan "Make America Great Again" is really code for "Make America White Again".
The questions came Friday in the White House when Trump signed a proclamation honoring Martin Luther King Jr.
The group of United Nations diplomats said it was "extremely appalled at, and strongly condemns the outrageous, racist and xenophobic remarks".
Trump did not explain how that fits with his administration's decision to end temporary legal status for almost 60,000 Haitian immigrants. Durbin thought it would just be the senators and Trump in the room. "How very bad for the USA - such a great country- to have such a poor leader on the worldwide front", one person tweeted.
The eighth anniversary of the quake took place after reported remarks from President Donald Trump referring to Haiti and other nations as "shithole countries" during a briefing on draft immigration legislation.
Trump's comments are extremely offensive to South Africa, said Jessie Duarte, a senior official with the ruling African National Congress.
Durbin added, "When the question was asked about Haitians. he said, 'Haitians?"

Cole is coming off of a career-worst ERA at 4.26 in 203 innings pitched, but he remains one of the hardest throwers in the game. With the addition of Cole and the removals of Feliz, Moran and Musgrove, the Astros 40-man roster now stands at 38 players.

North Korea nuclear test site has 'significant' work underway
Diplomats report the beginnings of food shortages in North Korea, and China is sending some North Korean workers back home. North Korea has earned only two medals in past Winter Games, which it has attended sporadically, starting in 1964.
Trump's remarks were "unkind, divisive, elitist and fly in the face of our nation's values", she said in a statement.

Trump reportedly made the comments while he was being briefed on a newly drafted bipartisan immigration deal. "Never said 'take them out'".
A few hours earlier he wrote: "The language used by me at the Daca meeting was tough, but this was not the language used". The people were not authorized to describe the conversation and spoke on condition of anonymity.
In a series of tweets yesterday, Mr Trump also suggested that momentum towards a deal on maintaining such protection had stalled. The White House has not denied the language, nor have the several Republican lawmakers in the meeting. "They're shithole countries, we should have more people from Norway", he is alleged to have said, before also questioning the need for people from Haiti to come to the US. The most "tough" thing at the scandalous meeting was the "outlandish proposal" made by the bipartisan group on DACA, he added. "Google Abuja and find what the description of what the president says". He tweets that it would force the U.S. "Which reminded us to revisit just how lovely this country is", the company tweeted.
Trump specifically questioned why the US would want to admit more people from Haiti, according to Durbin. "And whether you vote for me or you don't vote for me, I really want to be your greatest champion, and I will be your champion whether you vote for me or not". "I want to stop the massive inflow of drugs".
Trump has denied making the remarks, but Illinois Democratic Sen.
