The image brought widespread condemnation, including from President Trump, for echoing Nazi and white supremacist propaganda about Jews. The Times said an unnamed editor in Hong Kong made the decision to publish the cartoon, which was created by a Portuguese artist, António Moreira Antunes, and first published by Expresso, a newspaper in Lisbon. It was distributed by syndication service called CartoonArts International.
