Washington: Former US President Barack Obama has slammed his successor Donald Trump who tries to promote anti-Asian sentiment by using racist language “kung flu” to call the coronavirus during campaign rallies, US media reported.

“I don’t want a country in which the president of the United States is actively trying to promote anti-Asian sentiment and thinks it’s funny. I don’t want that. That still shocks and pisses me off,” Obama reportedly said on Monday in an invite-only fundraiser last week for presumptive Democratic president nominee Joe Biden, Xinhua news agency reported. Trump at least used the racist term twice this month, first at his Tulsa rally and later at a youth rally in Arizona. (IANS)
