'The reaction here will be very negative' - Norwegians not flattered by Trump's alleged invitation
Trump dedicated his weekly address to the nation, released Monday, to King.
That message was a distinct counterpoint to words attributed to Trump by Durbin and others at a meeting last week, when the question of where immigrants come from seemed at the forefront of Trump's concerns.
During the election campaign, Trump had called Mexicans "rapists" while in recent months he has used a racial slur at a reception for Native American veterans, said all Haitians have AIDS and Nigerians live in huts. "Durbin blew DACA and is hurting our Military".
The program extends legal protections to 800,000 immigrants who entered the United States illegally as children.
The president also rejected as insufficient an immigration deal drafted by the bipartisan group of lawmakers who attended that meeting. Trump ended the program and finding a legislative solution is a key issue in negotiations between the White House and congressional Democrats on immigration policy.
The comments led to harsh recriminations from Democrats and Republicans alike, with some critics accusing Trump of racism, even as bipartisan talks continued in the U.S. Congress to seek a bipartisan compromise to salvage the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA.
CARICOM "is deeply disturbed by reports about the use of derogatory and repulsive language by the President of the United States in respect of our member state, Haiti, and other developing countries", the bloc's Guyana-based headquarters said in a statement.
Representatives of four foreign governments - Kuwait, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey - held events at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, the report said. "I stand behind every word that I said in terms of that meeting", Durbin said about the president's remarks.
Trump has not clarified to aides what he said.
Trump said on Twitter on Friday he merely used "tough" language when discussing a new immigration bill with a group of US senators.

"We still think we can get there", White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said at the daily White House news briefing.
Ivana Trump's comments echo the president's own remarks to reporters at a dinner photo opportunity in Florida on Sunday night that "I'm not a racist".
"You can not dismiss entire countries and continents as shitholes".
On Sunday, Vice President Mike Pence, who worshipped at a Baptist church in Maryland, listened as the pastor denounced Trump's use of vulgarity. Never said "take them out". Worshippers stood and applauded as Watson spoke.
During an Oval Office meeting on immigration Thursday, Trump expressed frustration with people coming to the United States from countries in Africa and elsewhere, sources told CNN.
Asked what will be done to make sure that doesn't happen again, Trump said: "Well, we hope it won't happen again, but part of it is that people are on edge, and maybe eventually we'll solve the problem and they won't have to be so on edge".
"I am the son of immigrants", he said. "I've never seen a statement like this by African countries directed at the United States", she wrote. Trump said, according to these people, referring to countries mentioned by the lawmakers. "Do we need more Haitians?"
"Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?"
The group "is concerned at the continuing and growing trend from the USA administration towards Africa and people of African descent to denigrate the continent and people of color", it said.
African Union countries demanded an apology on Friday.
