U.S. President Donald Trump boards Air Force One upon departure from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland
Former US ambassador to the UN Samantha Power has shared the statement on Twitter, saying: "Whoa".
"These statements, full of hatred and contempt, produce indignation in the Cuban people, proud of the contribution given throughout its history by nationals and their descendants from different latitudes, particularly Africans and Haitians, to the forging of our nationality", said the Ministry in an official statement.
Durbin, who was at the White House meeting on Thursday to discuss immigration, is the first to go on the record confirming reports that Trump referred to African nations as "shithole countries", and that the U.S. should "take. out" Haitians now living in the U.S. Trump reportedly also commented that the U.S. should accept more immigrants from Norway.
The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee noted that Friday was the eighth anniversary of the Haiti quake after Mr. Trump reportedly referred to the nation as one of a number of "sh*thole countries".
Colville warns that comments by a major political figure, such as the president of the United States, can have damaging and unsafe consequences. On Friday he denied using that language.
Civil rights leaders said Friday the president's comments are not new, but are the most recent and glaring proof of Trump's racist views, and shocking to the point that congressional leaders and Americans can no longer ignore his bigotry.
African nations and El Salvador -also said to have been targeted in Trump's comments on immigration - have had plenty to say. Part of what makes America so special is that we welcome the best and brightest in the world, regardless of their country of origin'.
In other words, people from these countries are like something that climbed out of a pile of human waste. People act surprised now when he says things, but how could you?

Trump Blames Democrats for Stalled Immigration Negotiations Amid Backlash for 'Shithole' Comments
There is a serious need for dialogue between the USA administration and the African countries", said the AU statement. A person familiar with talk at the meeting told CNN that Trump also said: "Why do we need more Haitians?"
Akufo-Addo's predecessor, John Dramani Mahama, also criticized Trump's comments in a tweet Saturday. Of course, "The Trump Show" being "The Trump Show", that effectively happened last week, with Stephen K. Bannon's defenestration not merely from the White House and President Trump's orbit, but also apparently from the series as a whole. In a statement, White House spokesman Raj Shah said Trump is "fighting for permanent solutions that make our country stronger by welcoming those who can contribute to our society, grow our economy and assimilate into our great nation". USA police kill more people in a few days than many other developed countries kill in a few years, and they disproportionately target minorities.
"Made up by Dems". Tom Cotton and David Perdue, said they "do not recall the President saying these comments specifically".
Trump denies using the term.
The Rev. Tish Harrison Warren, an author and Anglican priest who serves at The Church of the Ascension in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, anxious about the fallout for the fellowship of evangelicals outside and inside the U.S. Her denomination, the Anglican Church in North America, was formed under the leadership of African Anglican bishops to serve conservative U.S. Episcopalians and others.
The group demanded "a retraction of the comment as well as an apology, not only to the Africans but to all people of African descent around the globe".
African media outlets and the continent's young, increasingly connected population were not shy, with some tweeting sleek photos of African landscapes and urban areas with the hashtag of the word.
But the government of Haiti - which Friday was marking eight years since a devastating natural disaster killed at least 200,000 people in the country - declared itself "outraged and shocked".
On Friday, several black supporters and advisers to Trump vouched for his commitment to the black community after a White House event honoring Martin Luther King Jr. "That partnership must be grounded in mutual responsibility and mutual respect", he said.
