(USA): President Donald Trump has said he was "totally misrepresented" by those saying he used the term "shithole" to describe African nations last week.
Mr Trump also said the allegation was hurting efforts to strike a deal to protect so-called Dreamer immigrants.The president was responding to a claim by Democratic Senator Dick Durbin that he used "vile and racist" language during a meeting on immigration reform.
The alleged remarks sparked global outrage and demands that he apologise."There is no other word one can use but racist," said a UN spokesman.On Monday, two senators who said he did indeed use the disparaging remark stood by their account of what took place.
Hours after the meeting, reports emerged that Mr Trump had asked: "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?"The US should be taking in migrants from countries like Norway, he is reported to have said.
And Mr Durbin also said he stood "behind every word", and rejected reports that perhaps Mr Trump said "shithouse" instead.He added he was focused "full-time" on finding a "future in America" for "those who are being protected by Daca [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals]".
