Trump seeks to pivot on Libya after backlash over disparaging remarks
In response to the outcry from Libyan officials and citizens, US President Donald Trump issued a clarifying statement praising the Libyan people as "proud, resilient, and hospitable", highlighting the shared U.S.-Libyan success in defeating ISIS.
Trump faced backlash after using crude language to describe Libya and other nations as "shithouse countries" during a political rally in Georgia.
"We respect the Libyan people and the sacrifices that brave Libyans made fighting ISIS." He wrote on his own Truth Social platform.
"The United States remains firmly committed to strengthening our bilateral relationship, supporting the long-awaited unification of Libya and Libya’s institutions, and standing with the Libyan people as they transition toward successful national elections. The Libyan people have been victims of terrorism and foreign meddling for years. I want them to unite, take back their sovereignty, and have the peaceful, prosperous future they deserve." He added.
