๐บ๐ธ๐ค๐ธ๐ด โ United States Senator Ted Cruz held meetings with the Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi in Washington DC
I had a productive meeting with Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi yesterday.
Somaliland has already established itself as a reliable partner for the United States on a range of issues, from countering terrorism to protecting shipping around the Horn of Africa. We discussed further strengthening the U.S.-Somaliland partnership.
I have been pushing the United States to deepen our partnership. I am committed to securing American recognition of Somalilandโs sovereignty and, in the meantime, Iโm urging the State Department to stop treating Somaliland as the same as Somalia.
The U.S. should establish a region-specific Travel Advisory specifically for Somaliland, which would reflect the reality on the ground.
I look forward to continuing our work to advance our shared security interests.
