US policy continues to recognize the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia, including Somaliland, as reaffirmed in a June 2026 State Department report to Congress that also noted ongoing pragmatic engagement on security and governance without altering the formal position. President Trump stated in December 2025 that he was not prepared to follow Israel's recognition of Somaliland and needed to study the issue, with subsequent reporting indicating limited signs of imminent action despite lobbying by supporters and Somaliland officials. Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi (Irro) plans a Washington visit in September 2026 seeking a Trump meeting and has offered Red Sea base access at Berbera, yet no recognition has occurred amid competing regional priorities and the compressed timeline before 2027. Trader consensus reflects these structural and diplomatic barriers.
