Trump Criticised for Telling Latin Leaders 'I'm Not Learning Your Damn Language' During Speech

President Donald Trump stood before the leaders of 12 Latin American nations on Saturday and told them, flatly, that he would not be learning their 'damn language.' The remark landed during the inaugural Shield of the Americas summit at Trump National Doral Miami, his golf resort in Florida, where heads of state had gathered to sign on to a US-led counter-cartel coalition.

'I'm not learning your damn language,' Trump said. 'I don't have time. I was okay with languages, but I'm not going to spend time learning your language. That much I won't do. Just give me a good interpreter,' according to Mediaite.
