In a similar remark, the Namibian, President-Hage Geingob, said the remarks had “no place in diplomatic discourse”. More so, Namibian foreign minister- Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah also condemned the comments saying; Trump’s language was “contrary to the norms of civility and human progress” and ignored Africans’ contributions in the United States. “The USA we know is one that was built with blood and sweat of African slaves and immigrants from all over,” it said in a statement.

Likewise, the 15-nation Caribbean Community meanwhile condemned Trump’s use of “repulsive” language”.

In a recent editorial; the New York Times said; the comments had shown up as “a charade” indications that Trump would soften his hardline stance on immigration. It also added that; it should be acknowledged that “the president of the United States is a racist and the United States has a long and ugly history of excluding immigrants based on race or national origin”.

Senegal’s President Macky Sall was also not left behind in condemning Mr, Trump’s comments where he also expressed his shock. Saying; “I reject them and condemn vigorously. Africa and the black race deserve the respect and consideration of all,” Said; Mr Sall.

The governments of Botswana and Haiti while reacting to the comments by Trump; summoned their ambassadors to seek a ‘please explain from Washington’.

Mr Trump’s former presidential rival Hillary Clinton did not miss her chance to weigh in with a jab at his timing on the eighth anniversary of the Haiti earthquake.

However, Trump has since tweeted a lukewarm denial early on Friday, maintaining that he used “tough words” but not those reported at the previous day’s White House meeting with Republican and Democratic party’ lawmakers.

But, Democrat Senator-Dick Durbin, who was present at the meeting, rejected Trump’s denial about the language he used, saying he repeated it and said “things which were hate-filled, vile and racist” on several occasions.
