INTERNATIONAL: Puerto Rico archbishop tells Trump to personally apologise

The Archbishop of Puerto Rico has called on Donald Trump to personally apologise for the inflammatory remarks a comedian made at his rally in Madison Square Garden on Sunday, in which he referred to the US island territory as a floating island of garbage. Trump’s campaign sought to distance itself from Tony Hinchcliffe’s comment, saying it did not reflect the views of the former president. However, Trump himself remained silent about the row amid a flurry of cross-party criticism. The Archbishop in his social media post said it’s important that Trump personally apologise.
