U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has called on President Donald Trump to officially recognize Somaliland. Cruz argues that recognizing Somaliland is not merely an act of charity but a strategic move that aligns with American security interests and the "America First" doctrine.

According to Cruz, such recognition would strengthen an ally that shares American values in a region that is crucial for global trade and counterterrorism efforts.

This appeal comes amid ongoing discussions about U.S. foreign policy in the Horn of Africa, where Somaliland has sought international recognition as an independent state from Somalia. The situation in the region remains complex, with various geopolitical implications.
