President Donald Trump of the United States has said that he
does not intend to immediately follow Israel in recognising Somalia’s breakaway
region of Somaliland as an independent country.
Trump stated this on Friday in a telephone interview the New
York Post.
“Everything is under study … We’ll study it. I study a lot
of things and always make great decisions and they turn out to be correct. Does
anyone know what Somaliland is, really,” he asked.
Recall that Israel on Friday became the first country to
formally recognise Somaliland’s separation from Somalia.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would convey the
development to Trump during a planned meeting scheduled for Monday.
