African Ambassadors: Statement and Samantha Power

african ambassadors: I've never seen a statement like this by African countries directed at the United States, according to CTV. The African ambassadors issued the statement late Friday following an emergency meeting after Trump used vulgar language to reject an immigration bill, asking why the U.S. would take in more people from Haiti and shithole countries in Africa. Former U.S. ambassador to the UN Samantha Power has shared the statement on Twitter, saying Whoa. Trump has denied using that language but others present say he did. Meanwhile, at least one more African leader spoke up on Saturday. The new statement expresses concern over the Trump administration's apparent increasing denigration of Africa and people of colour.
