flag Trump calls for halting immigration from 'Third World' countries, a term widely seen as outdated and offensive.

flag Former President Donald Trump called for a permanent pause on migration from "Third World countries" in a Truth Social post, citing strain on U.S. systems. flag The term, originally a Cold War-era classification for non-aligned nations, has become widely viewed as outdated, misleading, and offensive by scholars and citizens from those regions. flag It is criticized for implying hierarchy and reducing complex societies to stereotypes of poverty. flag While alternatives like "developing nations" or "Global South" are used, they too carry limitations and biases. flag Major media outlets recommend avoiding the term in favor of more precise, context-specific language.
