Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama.The Federal Government has summoned the United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr Stuart Symington, to protest President Donald Trump’s alleged derogatory comment on African states.
Mr Symington is expected to meet with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr Geoffrey Onyema over the derogatory term.
Mr Trump reportedly implied that African countries, Haiti and El Salvador are extremely filthy places last week during a bipartisan oval office meeting on immigration reform.
The President later denied this, but he agreed that he used “tough language” at the meeting.
The Trump administration has in recent weeks been withdrawing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from a number of nationalities currently living in the country.
