Trump's comments come in the wake of his earlier 'shithole' remark, which has now snowballed.

Several lawmakers and organisations have expressed their shock at what transpired at the Oval Office meeting a few days ago.

In a fit of anger, the US President allegedly used racial slur against people from Haiti, El Salvador and Africa, labelling these place as 'shithole'.

As the protests began, Trump took to Twitter to clear the air, not pleading guilty.

"The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made - a big setback for DACA!" he said.

In a follow up tweet, he added, "Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said 'take them out.' Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings - unfortunately, no trust!"

While many Republican senators have echoed Trump's claim and said they did not hear him say anything racist, Senator Dick Durbin stood by his claim and said that the President's language was 'hate-filled, vile and racist.

The aftermath

The African Union on Friday asked the US President to apologise unconditionally for his remarks.

The union, which represents all 55 African nations, expressed 'shock, dismay and outrage' at the 'clearly racist' remarks.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) accused Trump of falling "deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole of racism and xenophobia".

The UN described the rant as "There is no other word one can use but racist. You cannot dismiss entire countries and continents as 'shitholes'."

Apart from these, there's the usual flak that Trump gets on social media.
