The President of the United States of America, Donald Trump is billed to meet Rwandas President Paul Kagame at the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit in Davos on Friday.
The African Union and some African Presidents such as Ghana’s Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo have called on the US President to apologise for his comment.
The meeting comes during a time when President Trump has received intense criticism for labelling immigrants from El Salvador, Haiti and African as coming from ‘shithole’ countries. President Kagame is currently the Chairman of the AU and the meeting further comes to affirms the US’ unbreakable ties with the continent.
“The language of @realDonaldTrump that the African continent, Haiti and El Salvador are shithole countries is extremely unfortunate. We are certainly not a “shithole country”. We will not accept such insults, even from a leader of a friendly country, no matter how powerful,” the Ghanaian President said in a tweet.
