Libya Summons US Diplomat Over Trump’s Remarks

Libya’s foreign ministry has summoned the United States chargé d’affaires to protest President Donald Trump’s description of the country during a rally in Georgia. The ministry said it rejected comments that undermine the dignity of Libyans and damage the country’s international standing. Trump made the remarks while criticising a US immigration bill involving Libya, Yemen, Haiti and Somalia. Rival political administrations in eastern and western Libya also condemned the comments, saying the country should not be drawn into US domestic political debates.
