NZ PM ‘utterly’ disagrees with Trump tweets
    2019-07-17  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

NEW ZEALAND Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern on Monday joined international condemnation of U.S. President Donald Trump’s xenophobic tweets about progressive Democrat congresswomen.

Ardern, the charismatic young leader who has been hailed as “the anti-Trump” by U.S. media, said she proudly celebrated her country’s diversity.

“Usually I don’t get into other people’s politics, but it will be clear to most people that I completely and utterly disagree with him,” Ardern told Radio New Zealand.

Trump on Sunday urged a group of four Democratic congresswomen of color — three of them U.S.-born — to “go back” to the countries they came from, and then renewed his attack on them a day later.

“If you’re not happy here, you can leave... This is about love for America, certain people hate our country,” he tweeted.

Ardern said New Zealanders welcomed diversity in the corridors of power.

“We take the view that our parliament should be a representative place, it should look and feel like New Zealand, it should have a range of different cultures and ethnicities,” she said.

“And never should a judgment be made about the origin of anyone, and their right, therefore, to be in parliament as a representative.”

British Prime Minister Theresa May and Canadian leader Justin Trudeau have also condemned the tweets, while Democratic presidential candidates have labeled Trump racist.

Ardern has not been shy about highlighting her differences with Trump in the past, advising him to send “sympathy and love to all Muslim communities” in the wake of the Christchurch mosques massacre in March when a gunman killed 51 worshippers.
