From Norway to Haiti, Trump’s Comments Stir Fresh Outrage
Prime Minister Erna Solberg’s visit to Washington to meet Mr. Trump — where they held a joint news conference on Wednesday at the White House — was big news in Norway, and the encounter had not gone without a hitch: Mr. Trump pointed to the sale of American-made "F-52s and F-35 fighter jets," a remark
that puzzled many listeners since there is no such thing as an F-52 fighter jet.
I am proud to be Haitian-American, and I will continue to fight for the dignity and safety of every member of the District’s immigrant communities." In Quebec, where thousands of Haitians have been streaming since this past summer after the Trump administration signaled
that the United States would no longer provide Temporary Protected Status for some 59,000 Haitians in the United States, local Haitian leaders reacted with anger to Mr. Trump’s words but were not surprised.

OSLO — It was already past midnight on Friday when the news arrived in Norway: A day after meeting with Norway’s prime minister in Washington, President Trump told members of Congress
that the United States needed more immigrants from places like Norway and fewer immigrants from countries like Haiti.
Paul G. Altidor, the Haitian ambassador to the United States, said
that Haitian officials "vehemently condemn" Mr. Trump’s comments, which he said were "based on stereotypes," according to Yamiche Alcindor, a journalist reporting for the program "PBS NewsHour" who interviewed him.
That is why Haitians are hurrying to come here." Ms. Villefranche said
that the local Haitians lived in fear of Mr. Trump after his administration announced in November that it was ending the humanitarian program for Haitians, established after the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, that had allowed them to stay in the United States.
And why would anyone in Norway give up their social benefits — universal health care on a single payer system, no college tuition, and the like — to come to the U.S., which has none of it?" Mr. Trump’s remarks came the same day
that the United Nations secretary general, António Guterres, gave a speech urging reasoned debate on immigration.
