Jozy Altidore has fired back at United States President Donald Trump over reported comments demeaning the countries and people of Africa, Haiti and El Salvador.
Trump, during negotiations over immigration, was reported to have responded to a proposal to restore protections for people from those areas with a question of why the U.S. was allowing “all these people from s**thole countries” to immigrate.
The comments have caused massive global outrage and charges of racism, as President Trump followed up by asking why the U.S. doesn’t allow more people from places like Norway instead.
And Altidore, who was born in New Jersey but is the son of Haitian immigrants, took to Twitter to post a direct response to the President, along with two other prominent black athletes.
