Mogadishu, SONNA – Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud extended his congratulations to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump following his recent election victory. In an official statement, President Mohamud recognized Trump’s win as a “historic victory” and expressed optimism for the future of U.S.-Somalia relations.
“I look forward to continuing our two nations’ strong collaboration and partnership to advance peace, security, and common prosperity for our two nations,” President Mohamud stated, emphasizing the importance of maintaining close ties between Somalia and the United States.
Under President Mohamud’s leadership, Somalia has worked closely with the United States to combat regional instability and promote democratic growth. His remarks reflect Somalia’s commitment to strengthening this relationship as both nations address shared challenges, including counterterrorism, economic development, and humanitarian support.
President-elect Trump’s administration is expected to address a range of foreign policy issues, such as ongoing conflicts, Middle East tensions, the Russia-Ukraine crisis, and security partnerships in Africa. Somalia’s relationship with the United States is seen as a vital element in the Horn of Africa’s stability, particularly as Somalia continues to rebuild and reform.
