Trump Warns Libya: End Illegal Migration Corridor Now
(MENAFN) Donald Trump put Libya on notice Sunday, declaring that the North African nation must stop serving as a transit route for illegal migration. In the same message, the US president renewed Washington’s support for closer bilateral ties, stronger Libyan institutions and a transition to national elections.
Writing on Truth Social, Trump described Libyans as “proud, resilient, hospitable, and deserving of peace and prosperity,” and cited the two countries’ joint counterterrorism work and their shared role in defeating ISIS (Daesh) in Libya.
The praise came with a firm demand. “We respect the Libyan people and the sacrifices that brave Libyans made fighting ISIS, the common enemy of both our peoples, but Libya cannot remain a corridor for illegal migration, and this must end now,” Trump said.
He also pledged American backing for Libya’s long-delayed unification, the consolidation of its institutions and its path toward national elections.
Trump closed his message with a call for Libyan unity: “I want them to unite, take back their sovereignty, and have the peaceful, prosperous future they deserve!”
