Trump Reportedly Calls African Nations and Haiti 'Shithole Countries' (2018-01-11)
During a White House meeting on immigration, Trump reportedly asks why the US cannot have more immigrants from countries like Norway instead of 'shithole countries' like those in Africa and Haiti. The remark is widely condemned as racist globally. Trump denies using the exact phrase but confirms he used 'tough' language. The comment poisons bipartisan immigration negotiations and becomes a symbol of Trump's racialized immigration rhetoric.
