Trump repeats baseless claim about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Ohio city.

Claim appears to have come from a number of different sources which have been turned into a cohesive - though baseless - story by pro-Trump social media accounts.

Springfield City officials have told BBC there have been “no credible reports” that this has actually happened.

Many are from Haiti , and city officials say up to 20,000 have made Springfield home in recent years , reversing a long decline that saw the city’s population drop by more than 20,000 over the last 60 years . The new arrivals have revitalised local industrial companies but have also put a strain on public services. Vance , a senator representing Ohio who grew up about an hour away from Springfield , has repeatedly talked about the city on the campaign trail. Additional reporting by Joshua Cheetham .
