MOGADISHU, Somalia — Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud extended his congratulations to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday, describing Trump’s election win as a “historic victory.” In his statement, Mohamud expressed optimism about fostering an enhanced partnership between Somalia and the United States.
“I look forward to continuing our two nations’ strong collaboration and partnership to advance peace, security, and common prosperity for our two nations,” Mohamud said, highlighting the significance of the bilateral relationship.
Under Mohamud’s administration, Somalia has been engaged in close cooperation with the U.S. to address regional instability and foster democratic development. His statement reflects Somalia’s dedication to reinforcing this alliance as they tackle mutual concerns like counterterrorism, economic progress, and humanitarian aid.
The incoming Trump administration will navigate numerous international challenges including conflicts in the Middle East, the Russia-Ukraine situation, and security collaborations across Africa. Somalia’s strategic partnership with the U.S. remains crucial for stability in the Horn of Africa, especially as the country works on rebuilding and reform post-conflict.
Mohamud’s congratulations to Trump underscore a hopeful vision for a future of peace and mutual growth between the two nations.
