BBC在线收听下载:美国财长希望特朗普对伊朗实施新制裁

Hello, I'm Debbie Ruse with the BBC News.

President Trump has dismissed proposals for bipartisan agreement on immigration，using derogatory language about Haiti, El Salvador and countries in Africa. At a White House meeting with lawmakers, Mr. Trump asked why the United States should take in people from these places, which he disparaged, using a vulgar term that some listeners may find offensive. Peter Bowles has the details. These comments came during a meeting in the Oval Office. It was about immigration and during the course of the discussion, he, according to the Washington Post, said why are we having all the these people from shithole countries? What do we want Haitians here for? The President apparently asked why do we want all these people from Africa here and then he added we should have people from places like Norway. It is the choosy words that has caused such a controversy and outcry here.

Meanwhile, the US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin says he expects President Trump to impose new sanctions on Iran. There is likely to be different from the sanctions that were lifted in 2015 as part of the nuclear deal between Iran and the West. Mr. Trump must decide by Friday whether to continue to waive those sanctions or in fact kill the agreement. He has long been opposed to the deal and has told Congress to come up with a fix.
