The UN called the "shocking and shameless" Trump statement on migrants

The United Nations is outraged by the offensive words of US President Donald Trump, who called the countries where migrants in the US arrive "dirty holes".

"If he really said that, then this is a shocking and shameful statement by the American president," said the DW, a representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Rupert Colville, on Friday, January 12, in Geneva.

"It is impossible to call dirty holes the whole countries and continents whose inhabitants do not have white skin and are therefore not desirable in the United States for this reason," Colwill said. - It's not just about vulgar words. It opens the door to the worst side of mankind, racism and xenophobia are encouraged and encouraged, which can ruin the lives of many people."
