'Irresponsible, reprehensible, and racist': Here's how the world reacted to Trump's 'shithole' comments
President Donald Trump ignited a firestorm on Thursday when it was reported that he had called Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations "shithole countries" at a bipartisan meeting on immigration, and said the US needed more immigrants from countries like Norway.
The comments drew immediate and intense backlash from leaders around the globe.
The White House initially issued statements which did not directly deny that Trump had made the defamatory comments. Trump also tweeted on Friday morning that he did not use the "language" that had been reported.
"The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made - a big setback for DACA!" Trump wrote.
Regardless of his apparent denial, the international condemnations have continued to roll in.
