U.S. Congress Orders Review of #Somaliland Ties Ahead of Irro’s Washington Visit

In a landmark decision, U.S. Congress has directed the State Department to submit a report within 120 days exploring expanded engagement with Somaliland in areas such as security, diplomacy, trade and development, coinciding with President
@Abdirahmanirro
’s anticipated visit to Washington later this year.

This shift, welcomed by sources as showing bipartisan interest including from
@GOP
and
@realDonaldTrump
, highlights Somaliland’s democratic stability and strategic value, particularly its Berbera port and role in Red Sea security.

While the directive stops short of formal recognition, sources say it could pave the way for deeper U.S.–Somaliland cooperation.
