Dec. 10, 2025, 1:42 PM ESTBy Alexandra MarquezPresident Donald Trump on Tuesday denigrated immigrants from “shithole countries,” reviving a comment he used during his first term in office that sparked criticism.During a rally in Pennsylvania on affordability, Trump touted his administration’s decision to pause immigration from dozens of countries, including Somalia. “I’ve also announced a permanent pause on third world migration, including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia and many other countries,” he said. Then, reflecting on his 2018 meeting with senators during which he referred to certain nations as “shithole countries,” Trump said, “Remember I said that to the senators?”He said, “Our country was going to hell. And we had a meeting, and I say, ‘Why is it we only take people from shithole countries, right?’ Why can’t we have some people from Norway, Sweden, just a few? Let us have a few from Denmark. Do you mind sending us a few people? Do you mind?'”Trump pointed specifically to Somali immigrants, questioning why the U.S. has so many immigrants from the African nations and so few from European nations.”We always take people from Somalia, places that are a disaster, right?” the president told the audience in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania. “Filthy, dirty, disgusting, ridden with crime. The only thing they’re good at is going after ships.”White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement that, “President Trump is right. Aliens who come to our country, complain about how much they hate America, fail to contribute to our economy, and refuse to assimilate into our society should not be here.”Trump faced backlash for his use of the term “shithole countries” during the 2018 meeting. At the time, the president denied using that term, saying he used “tough” language, but “this was not the language used.”During that incident, the president was reportedly referring to Haiti and certain African nations, which led to leaders in Botswana condemning the remarks as “reprehensible and racist.”For over a week, Trump has disparaged Somali immigrants, particularly those in Minnesota.Minnesota is “a hellhole right now. The Somalians should be out of here. They’ve destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain,” he told reporters in the Oval Office last week.Federal agents began conducting immigration operations in Minneapolis last week and, though one administration official told NBC News that ICE wasn’t specifically targeting Somali immigrants, Trump’s comments have had a chilling effect.The president has also gone after Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., in particular. Omar immigrated to the U.S. when she was 12 after fleeing Somalia’s civil war.At Tuesday night’s rally, the president called the congresswoman’s hijab a “turban” and encouraged the crowd to chant “send her back.””With the little shoe, the little turban, I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch. She’s always complaining,” he said.In a post on X referencing the president’s Tuesday comments, Omar wrote, “Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help. Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead. He continues to be a national embarrassment.”Alexandra MarquezAlexandra Marquez is a politics reporter for NBC News.Elyse Perlmutter-Gumbiner, Maya Rosenberg and Tara Prindiville contributed.

Nov. 14, 2025, 9:38 AM ESTBy Daryna Mayer and Yuliya TalmazanKYIV, Ukraine — As explosions boomed and smoke blanketed Ukraine’s capital early Friday, it was the same old fear for Nadiia Chakrygina. Like clockwork, she got her three children — Tymur, 13, Elina, 9, and 9-month-old Diana — out of bed and into a basement, where they waited, some asleep, some awake, for the strikes to be over.“Why do our children deserve this,” Chakrygina, 34, told NBC News in a telephone interview. “Why are they living under strikes? Why can’t they get proper sleep and go to school? There is anger about everything.”It’s a routine millions of Ukrainians have been begrudgingly following since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion almost four years ago, and the nearly nightly barrages of Ukrainian cities that have followed.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has been pushing for an end to the war, took to X shortly afterward to call it a “wicked attack.”But with peace negotiations effectively stalled and Russian troops pushing deeper into eastern Ukraine, there is little end in sight. Chakrygina, who used to work as a pension fund clerk before she had her three children, said she moved to Kyiv from the town of Vuhledar in the eastern Donetsk region shortly after the war started in February 2022. Vuhledar, which has been obliterated by years of fighting, was captured by Russian forces last October as part of Putin’s wider push to recapture the entire Donbass region, which is made up of Donetsk and the neighboring region of Luhansk. While their progress has been slow, earlier this week Russian forces appeared to be advancing on the city of Pokrovsk, a key logistics hub seen as a gateway to the broader region, which sits around 35 miles north of Vuhledar.

I am not angry or fed up, I am desperate.”Russia has been pummeling Ukraine with near-daily drone and missile strikes, killing and wounding civilians. The Russian Defense Ministry said Friday that forces targeted Ukraine’s “military-industrial complex and energy infrastructure” with “high-precision long-range weapons.” It made no mention of civilian sites hit.The Kremlin has repeatedly said its only targets are linked to Kyiv’s war effort, but it has relentlessly targeted Ukraine’s energy sector in a bid to plunge the country into the cold and dark ahead of winter.“We are used to everything. The strikes come, we get scared but life continues,” Chakrygina said, reciting the motto that gets her through the relentless attacks. But while civilians simply try to survive, there was public anger this week after Ukraine’s justice minister was suspended Wednesday in an investigation into an alleged $100 million kickback scheme in the country’s energy sector. German Galushchenko was removed from office after anti-corruption authorities said they exposed a scheme which allegedly saw current and former officials, and businesspeople receive benefits and launder money through the country’s state energy company, Energoatom, authorities said.Police stand next to a residential building damaged in Friday’s strikes, Oleksii Filippov / AFP via Getty ImagesFive people have been arrested and another seven were placed under suspicion, according to a statement Tuesday from Ukraine’s National Anticorruption Bureau, the NABU, and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, SAPO.Zelenskyy said in a statement on Telegram on Wednesday that those involved “cannot remain in their positions,” adding: “This is a matter of trust in particular. If there are accusations, they must be answered.”Davydovska called the scandal “demotivating,” although she said she was encouraged that the corruption was uncovered and investigated. “We have a joke — Ukraine is the richest country: no matter how much is stolen, there is still money here,” she said. But on a more serious note, she added that Ukrainians had been fundraising for the army for the last four years, “while some bastards are doing such things.” Chakrygina meanwhile, said she was hopeful that peace can be reached. “We don’t believe anymore in Vuhledar, in our [Donetsk] region, because Vuhledar has been erased from the face of the Earth. But we want to at least live here [in Kyiv],” she said. It’s her three children that keep her going every day, she said. “They need their future. They need to live without war,” she added.
