Donald Trump allegedly called Haiti and Africa 'shithole countries'
He gave no more details.
One person who attended the meeting told aides they heard the latter expletive, while others recall the president saying the more widely reported "shithole", according to a person briefed on the meeting but not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations. On Friday, he denied using that language and specifically denied making derogatory comments about Haiti, and went so far as to flatly say over the weekend that he is "not a racist". The word "racist" has been thrown at Trump left and right, but many have come to his defense, including Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who said it was "unfair" to call him racist because Trump funded his mission trip to perform eye surgeries for those in need in Haiti back in 2015.
PROGRESSIVE Liberal Party (PLP) leader Philip "Brave" Davis yesterday criticised the Minnis administration for its silence amid global backlash regarding US President Donald Trump's disparaging comments about Haiti, African nations and El Salvador. Trump allegedly said after being presented with a proposal to restore protection for immigrants from Africa and other countries.
Durbin has said the White House should release whatever recording it might have of the meeting.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders says President Donald Trump is "not going to apologize for trying to fix our immigration system", as the fall-out continues from Trump's reported use of a vulgarity to describe some African countries.
Members of South Africa's Department of International Relations and Cooperation met with the U.S. Embassy charge d'affaires on Monday to express concerns over Trump's comments about immigration from certain nations. "Why don't we get more people from Norway?'" Durbin said.
