Trump questioned why 'pretty Korean lady' wasn't negotiating for US with North Korea: report
While the White House attempts to mitigate the intense backlash over President Donald Trump's racist remarks referring to Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations as "shithole" countries, NBC has a new report detailing a disturbing-yet wholly unsurprising-exchange that occurred between Trump and a Korean American intelligence officer last fall.
Allegations of racially charged remarks surfaced after it was reported he asked why the USA was letting in immigrants from "shithole countries" in Africa and Central America.

At the end of the Oval Office briefing, Trump reportedly asked the woman where she was from.
Trump defended himself in a tweet on Friday, claiming that he did not say "anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country". The senior Democratic senator Dick Durbin, who was in the meeting, subsequently said that he had. NBC News also cited a source saying Trump "frequently uses that kind of language", despite those around him telling him not to.
Prior to these comments, Trump had been already accused of being a racist.
