South Africa has protested to the U.S. embassy in Pretoria about reported remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump that some immigrants from Africa and Haiti come from 's***hole' countries. South Africa's foreign ministry called the remarks, which sources said Trump made earlier this week during a meeting on immigration legislation, 'crude and offensive' and said Trump's subsequent denial was not categorical. South Africa's foreign ministry (foreign minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane pictured above) has called out President Donald Trump after his crude remarks about African nationsIt said it would ask the second-in-charge of the U.S. embassy to explain Trump's comments on Monday. According to reports, President Trump made disparaging comments about immigrants from Haiti and Africa, and made the insensitive remark in regards to immigration from those countries. Senator Dick Durbin, who was apparently at the meeting where the remarks were said, has called Trump's words 'hate filled'.
