Shithole Countries Comment

On January 11, 2018, during a meeting in the Oval Office with members of Congress, Donald Trump made a remark referring to certain countries while discussing immigration policy, including protections for individuals under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

The reported language was disclosed shortly after the meeting and covered by domestic and international media. Officials and governments responded in the following days, and the statement became part of ongoing discussions about U.S. immigration policy.
