Were in that oval office meeting. How many times are you going to be required to go up and say no, i dont agree with what the president said and move on to the next question. Every time. But if its every day, no, i dont think every time. Did it make you say maybe im not going to vote for donald trump. Crude, but i can live with it. This is new day weekend with Victor Blackwell and christie paul. We are always so grateful to have your company. Welcome. We want to talk about this morning the global backlash against President Trump here. World leaders, organizations, slamming his comments as quote, racist, shameful and outrageous. The African Union is demanding an apology from the president after he reportedly asked why the u. S. Needs more immigrants from as he described them, shithole countries in africa. World leaders are now calling u. S. Diplomats demanding they come in and explain the president. Democrats are leading an effort to officially censure the president. Were here with International Reactions to the president s comments. What are you hearing this morning . It certainly is a swift and harsh reaction, very unusual for african countries or in fact any countries to explicitly criticize a president of the United States because of the economic ties because of the foreign aid thats coming to some african countries, but criticize they have. This from u. N. Ambassadors saying its extremely appalling and strongly condemns the outrageous remarks attributed to the president and perhaps even more strident from botswana saying highly irresponsible, reprehensible and racist. So certainly strong remarks and not being afraid to point the finger directly at trump and call him a racist. All right. We understand i mean, we know that you are in that in that country, in that continent and you know it extremely well. Help us understand the context of what hes saying and what it means to the people there. Well, certainly its shocking to many africans, you know, im from south africa. Ive reported in more than 30 countries. People have been posting on social media what they say, my shithole and excuse the phrase that is being repeated frequently attributed to the u. S. President buzz theyre posting these pictures and heres some of my own that are of our travels throughout the african continent. So the fear here is this will just add more to the kind of racist or stereo typical types referring to the african continent. This is a very Diverse Group of countries, sure theres certainly big problems in these countries like in any other part of the world, but theyre also a huge growing economy, faster than the u. S. In this continent as well as strong connections both in terms of people and in terms of policy between the u. S. And the african continent. This will make the job of state Department Officials that much harder to try and reach out to the equivalents in these countries and one must remember the u. S. Government is really pushing the war against terror in some countries in africa and that will also not be helped by the president s attributed statements. Very good point to make. So grateful to hear from you today. Thank you. All right. Lets go to abby phillip now. Abby is in washington. The president is back at his beach resort. Abby, to you, weve heard from dozens of republicans and democrats as david has talked about, World Leaders as well but we have not heard much from Republican Leadership in washington. Thats right, victor. Theres been a bit of a mixed reaction from republicans, most of it silence. We did hear from House Speaker paul ryan who gave an interview on this subject and called the comments unfortunate and unhelpful and he referenced his own familys history as being immigrants from ireland but you did not hear a strong condemnation of the president s comments, a call for an apology as some other republicans have and from other Republican LeadersLike Senate Majority leader mitch mcconnell, there have been no comments whatsoever. Theres a bit of a back and forth between the republicans and the democrats who were present in that meeting. Some of the republicans saying they dont recall the president saying those comments and others saying we confronted the president in that meeting, Lindsay Graham saying he spoke directly to the president after he made those comments and dick derbin calling out the president s comments as being racist. The president had a Martin Luther king jr. Event at the white house and i want to play a little bit of what Martin Luther kings nephew said about President Trump right after that meeting. I dont think that President Trump is a racist in the traditional sense as we know in this country. I think that President Trump is racially ignorant or racially uninformed but i dont think hes a racist in the traditional sense. Not exactly a ringing praise there from someone who was hat the white house with President Trump yesterday and of course right after that event the president was peppered with questions by reporters about whether his comments were in fact, racist. All right. Thank you, abby. So antonio okafor, whose parents are from nigeria as well as wendy osofo. Ladies, we appreciate you being here. Wendy, of course was born in nigeria, so i do want to start with you antonio i want to start with you. So lets play a part of that. This really goes out to this narrative of perpetuating that donald trump is racist. And i think people the American People are sick of this perpetuation when they havent seen anything that has really shown anything of the sort. After hearing these latest comments, do you still feel that same way . Well, yeah, you know, as a proud daughter of nigerian immigrants i feel like its important to educate the American People and i think first of all with nigerian immigrants, they are the most educated immigrant group in america. They tout of the most advanced degrees in america. They also make 10,000 more than the average white family in america as well. So i think it goes to show and wendy also can personally attest as well that nigerian immigrants are very well educated. They come from a country that produced the best and the brightest. But when you hear the president call it a Shithole Country then, how do you reconcile those two things . Well, you know, if the reports are true, then ive never denied that, the reports are true, then of course the president should absolutely apologize and im just sorry to show that its not just the president if the reports are true that are ignorant to comments or things like that. There are a lot of people that think that African People unfortunately come from a place that is not as developed as where they went to and thats true. And there are a lot of aspects of that that thats true. But i think the wording that unfortunately were starting to deal with and were starting to talk about. So are you saying that you agree with you agree with Martin Luther kings nephew who said he believes the president is racially ignorant . I believe there are a lot of people who are ignorant when it comes to the fact that will are people not but what about the president . Based on the verbiage he used, do you think he is racist or is racially ignorant . No, i dont think hes racist. Its the policies, its what he actually does, his actions but he was talking about policy, why are we letting people come into the u. S. He was talking about immigration policies. If were going to talk about what people are saying as well, i guess Hillary Clinton but she didnt call them shithole countries. Black men were super predators and were not talking about that. Well, we have talked about that. We have talked about that. Im sorry. I just i want to give wendy a chance to chime in here. Theres no gray area here. As a nigerian immigrant i am deeply offended by the racially charged comments. Not only are his comments racially charged, theyre dubious. We see that 19 of white americans have bachelors degrees compared to 37 of nigerians and then 11 of white americans have advanced degrees compared to 25 of nigerians so its not just about saying comments that are offensive. Its also about saying things that are incorrect. And when we look at being a racist or a big got, thats a moral issue, but when you transpose those characteristics to the leader of the free world you have an administration that sets forth policies that impact black and brown people, we see this with daca and the roll back of the doj and the muslim ban so this is not calling a group of people from a geographic location shitholes, this is about the shithole policies coming out of pennsylvania avenue. You have said that the president is a racist, that he owes nigerians and others an apology. What would that apology have to be for you to accept it . For him to own up, not just to the comments that he has made, but the systematic infractions he has made towards black and brown people during the tenure of his presidency, lets talk about him not giving credence to la David Johnson when he passed away, a fallen star hero. Lets talk about him saying charlottesville, that there were people on both sides of the aisle. Lets talk about him trying to attack nfl and flrnba players. We need to know that our leader does not sit here and segregate people. We need a unifier, not a divider in the president in chief. Hes actually done a lot for the african community, more than i would say president obama which i voted for twice i will say. Because and i stop because i realize his policies, the ones that he was implementing were not helping the African American community. In fact, poverty levels went through the roof when he was president. Let me ask you something. As an African American. As an African American woman, how do you feel supported by President Trump . I feel supported in the fact that he is for all americans. My family came from nigeria here for a better life. And regardless of the venacular, the wording that people have been using right now, it was not a country that my family decided to stay in, they left everything behind and came here because america was the place where they were able to have the american dream. That to say as well, i think its important that we show that those values that i have that have maybe who i am today, im also conservative values and im going to support a president thats going implement conservative policies. You cannot support a president that dont support people that look like you. Okay. Wendy, go ahead. You cannot support a president who does not support people who look like you and that is the issue. He has talked about a judge not being qualified because of his hispanic ancestry and he further went ahead and said we want people from norway. This is clearly an issue of race and there is no way to cut that. That is what this president is doing. Hes trying to speak to his base but hes continuing to wedge a divide within our society to make it a us versus then type of narrative and anyone who supports that is supporting the wrong side of history. If anyone is really making a divisive statement or really going to perpetuate like i said before, the divisive nature right now in race is stations like cnn that continuously talk about whether President Trump is a racist. He is a racist. People are tired of that that hes a racist. We have government in south africa calling him a racist today based on what he said. So we just we are trying to get through this conversation and figure out how we can all move forward and what that is going to take. We appreciate you both taking time to be here. Thank you. Iran says the president has crossed the line with new sanctions but President Trump is frontal systeming to go even further.

Iran says President Trump has crossed the line with new sanctions and theyre promising a severe response. This time he says it is the last time. Now russia says their worst expectations are coming true. Joining us now from london, Nick Peyton Walsh with us. You have some new information a little later youre going to get to thats coming from iran as well. Lets deal with all of this in one go. On a separate story, the shithole issue, donald trump, the iran foreign minister has called those remarks unbelievable and unacceptable. The head of the government in the u. S. As to use the foulest language about nations and that is one nations response. Separate to that though is the broader frankly, you might say more consequential issue of irans own Nuclear Program and what was announced yesterday by the Trump Administration. They agreed waiving the specific sanctions in place for iran not to continue their nuclear research, but those are very strong kicker in that. The administration said this is the last time they will issue such a waiver and that given the european allies, an interesting tactic, theyre not negotiating directly with iran, they can let them negotiate a better picture with iran. Some of the clauses seem to expire after a period of time and the white house wants to see Missile Technology lumped in with Nuclear Technology so they cant for example test long range missiles and have consequences for that. This is being disparaged by the foreign minister saying this is not something that can be renegotiated. The european allies the Trump Administration asking to renegotiate this deal very publicly asked last week that they are wholly behind the deal as it stands. So we are now into a complicated situation as the u. S. Said its ramping up sanks against different parts of the iranian government, a key figure in the judiciary who they sanctioned individually because of alleged human rights abuses. They continue to ramp up sections in other areas that are not the Nuclear Sanctions and the problem is theyre putting a rift between themselves and their allies. Teheran will probably not take european requests for a tightening of the deal that seriously because they know theyre not made in ernest and the kind of fabric of the deal fall apart. The pressure is certainly been but the Trump Administration might possibly have to follow through on this threat on the next deadline. Back to you. All right. Thank you so much. So the question, why do we need more hatians . The person asking it, the president of the United States. President trumps remarks now really out raging people across the world. Hatian americans specifically. Why they say are deeply hurt by these comments. When i just read it, i feel so so sad. I cry. So i add activia yogurt to my day. With its billions of live and active probiotics, activia may help support my digestive health, so i can take on my day. Activia. Now in probiotic dailies.
