African countries condemn Trump’s vulgar comments, urge him to apologize

Tehran (KNA) - All African member states of the United Nations have blasted US President Donald Trump’s “outrageous” and “xenophobic” remarks about immigrants, calling on him to apologize for the vulgar comments.

In a statement issued on Friday, a group of 55 African countries demanded a "retraction and an apology" from Trump after the US president referred to countries such as El Salvador, Haiti and certain African nations as "shithole" countries.

The American head of state further urged lawmakers at a White House meeting to make efforts to stop immigrants from those countries entering the US, and instead accept immigrants from wealthy and overwhelmingly white countries such as Norway.
