More than 50 African ambassadors to the UN criticized the reported remarks on Saturday, calling for the US president to issue a "retraction and an apology." 'Gross misrepresentation' Trump has offered only a vague defense of the remark.

US President Donald Trump nixes UK trip to open new embassy
US President Donald Trump said late on Thursday that he would not go through with his planned trip to the UK to open Washington's new embassy next month. Trump said his decision was based on the decision to move the old embassy — a move he mistakenly blamed on the administration of his predecessor, Barack Obama.
