South Africa summons U.S. embassy official over Trump ‘shithole’ remark

South Africa summons U.S. embassy official over Trump ‘shithole’ remark

South Africa has summoned a top U.S. Embassy official for a meeting over President Donald Trump’s alleged remarks that African nations are “shithole countries.”

In a statement on the  summons today , the South African government referred to Trump’s comments as “disturbing” and said that while Trump has tweeted a denial, it “was not categorical.

Trump’s alleged comments caused shock internationally and incurred allegations of racism, with the UN, the African Union and many individual African governments denouncing it.

however, after the alleged comment prompted a media storm, Botswana’s government summoned its ambassador to the US to ask whether Botswana was considered “a shithole.”
