‘Where is that exactly?’ Donald Trump asks Rohingya refugee seeking US help – video
During a meeting in the Oval Office with a group of survivors of religious persecution, a Rohingya refugee enquired about US help: ‘I am a Rohingya from Bangladesh refugee camp. Most of the refugees are willing to go back home as soon as possible. So, what is the plan to help us?’. Donald Trump’s response was: ‘Where is that exactly?’, to which Trump’s aide responded: ‘Bangladesh is right next to Burma.’ Trump also had an awkward exchange with another of his guests, Nobel laureate and Iraqi Yazidi human rights activist Nadia Murad. When she requested aid for the Yazidis, Trump replied: ’And you had the Nobel prize? That’s incredible. They gave it to you for what reason?’
