Somaliland: How Trump, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and others reacted to Israeli recognition

Israel's decision to become the first country to recognize the breakaway region of Somaliland has been condemned by several countries. Saudi Arabia's foreign ministry affirmed its support for Somalia's unity and rejected the recognition as a violation of international law. Turkey's foreign ministry also condemned the move, calling it an unlawful action by the Netanyahu government aimed at creating regional instability. US President Donald Trump indicated that the US was studying the issue but had not made a decision to follow Israel's lead.
