Foreign Diplomats Complain to US Officials About Trump

U.S. officials said foreign diplomats are expressing alarm about the “inflammatory and insulting” public statements made by Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.

Diplomats from Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia have complained to their U.S. counterparts in recent private conversations about the xenophobic nature of Trump's statements, said three U.S. officials, who all declined to be identified.

"As the (Trump) rhetoric has continued, and in some cases amped up, so, too, have concerns by certain leaders around the world," said one of the officials.

The three officials declined to disclose a full list of countries whose diplomats have complained, but two said they included India, South Korea, Japan and Mexico.

The foreign officials have been particularly disturbed by the anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim themes that the billionaire real estate mogul has pushed, according to the U.S. officials.

Senior leaders in several countries — including Britain, Mexico, France, and Canada — have already made public comments criticizing Trump's positions.
