President Trump said Tuesday he wants immigrants “from everywhere” after reports last week said he expressed disdain for immigrants from African countries, Haiti, and El Salvador.
“I want them to come in from everywhere. Everywhere,” Trump told reporters when asked if he wanted more people to come from places like Norway.
Trump did not answer whether he wants immigrants to come from “just the Caucasian or white countries.”
Trump reportedly referred to Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations as “shithole countries” last week in a meeting with lawmakers about immigration reform, and welcomed more immigrants from Norway.
