Donald Trump used a harsh and scabrous word at a meeting in the Oval Office in relation to poor countries, of which immigrants come to the US, told the American media by people who attended the meeting. However, after a stormy reaction, the public and organizations denied this.

According to Air force, Trump called countries such as Haiti, El Salvador and the states of Africa, in a word shithole. “Why do we need all these people from the “stinking holes” to come to us? - Trump was quoted by the meeting participants, including members of Congress from both parties.

The UN has already called Trump's statement shocking, shameful and racist.

What did Donald Trump say?

The meeting in the Oval Office was devoted to finding ways to legalize several categories of immigrants.

Democratic senator Richard Durbin spoke about the possibility of granting temporary residence permits in the United States to citizens of countries affected by natural disasters, armed conflicts and epidemics, US media reported.

Trump, as the newspapers write, remarked in response that the American immigration system should give preference to people from prosperous countries - specifically in this regard, he mentioned Norway (the American president met with the prime minister of this country the day before).

“Why do we need more Haitians? Send them back,” Trump quotes Washington Post.

What was the reaction of the White House?

The White House did not deny that such words were uttered.

“Some Washington politicians prefer to defend the interests of foreign countries, but President Trump will always fight for the interests of the American people,” said White House press secretary Raj Shah.

“Just as other countries accept immigrants on merit,” Shah continued, “President Trump is fighting for permanent solutions that will make our country stronger by welcoming those who have the ability to contribute to our society, grow our economy, and assimilate in our great country."

Autumn Trump Administration suspended the effect of the directive issued by President Obama, which instructed the immigration authorities not to take any action against the adult children of illegal immigrants who were brought into the country at a minor age, who were educated and did not commit any offenses.

Trump spoke in favor of granting these people permanent status with the prospect of acquiring American citizenship, but linked this decision with the allocation of money for the construction of the wall on the border with Mexico during the election campaign. A compromise with the congress on this issue has not yet been reached.

How did the public respond to Trump's words?

Trump's statement immediately caused a stream of deprecating comments.

Rupert Colville, spokesman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, said:

“If this is true, these are shocking and disgraceful remarks from the President of the United States, I am sorry, but this can only be described as racism.”

Colville also recalled Trump's speech during the 2016 election campaign of the year, when the future president described Mexican migrants as criminals and rapists.

The UN spokesman said such remarks were contrary to the “universal values ​​for which the world has fought” since the end of World War II.

Cedric Richmond, a black Democratic congressman, said Trump's words provided "new evidence that his 'Make America Great Again' slogan actually means 'Make America White Again.'

Mia Love, a Utah Republican and the only Haitian-American in Congress, demanded an apology from Trump for his “unkind, divisive and elitist” words.

U.S. Rep. Elias Cummings, a Black Democrat, tweeted: "I condemn this inexcusable statement, it discredits the administration of the President."

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) accused Trump of falling deeper and deeper into the “rabbit hole” of racism and xenophobia.

Trump denies everything by posting on Twitter

Trump in Twitter wrote that he did not use such a word, about which they write to the media, in relation to third world countries. According to him, he used a rather harsh expression, but not the one about which the newspapers write.

“At the DACA meeting [Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program], I used strong language, but not like this,” Trump wrote in Twitter after the outbreak of scandal.

At the same time, Trump did not specify which words were spoken during the meeting in the Oval Office.

What was Trump's meeting with congress members about?

According to American media, congressmen suggested that Trump return to the practice of issuing so-called “temporary refugee status” for citizens of a number of countries where it is unsafe to stay. With this status, several categories of immigrants could legally remain in the United States.
