‘Somalia is not even a country’, Trump says

“Somalia is not even a country. They don’t have anything that resembles a country,” US President Donald Trump, speaking at the White House a year after his return to office, singled out what he called the “criminal illegal aliens” his administration is arresting in Minnesota and elsewhere, repeating his false claim that countries are sending murderers and the mentally impaired, The Daily Baku reports.

The American leader believes Somalia is a "truly corrupt place." "It's not a country. They have no government, they have nothing," he asserted.

"It's a backward country, probably the worst country. They say it's the worst country in the world, if it's a country at all. I don't think it's a country. There's no organization there. They have no police, no military, they have nothing," Trump stated.
