Former President Donald Trump has publicly stated the United States will support Somalia against Houthi militants. Trump also took the opportunity to criticize President Joe Biden's approach to foreign policy.
Trump claimed that under his leadership, the U.S. military would have been more effective in deterring Houthi aggression. He highlighted his past policies, asserting that he had eliminated red tape that previously hindered military action. According to Trump, this empowerment allowed the U.S. to better protect the people of Somalia from terrorist organizations.
"They need to hide," Trump said, referring to the Houthis. He did not elaborate on specific actions the U.S. might take, but his statement signals a potential divergence in foreign policy approaches should he return to office. The situation in Somalia remains complex, with various international actors involved in addressing security concerns and humanitarian needs.
