Trump claims Somalia's leader declined offer of Ilhan Omar's return

 September 26, 2025

In a stunning declaration from the Oval Office, President Donald Trump shared an alleged conversation with Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, stating that the leader outright rejected the notion of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) returning to Somalia, as Breitbart reports.

Trump's comments, made during a Thursday evening session, arose while discussing Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) and extended to Omar, who has recently garnered attention for her controversial remarks following the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk.

On Thursday evening, Trump spoke with reporters in the Oval Office, initially fielding a question about Crockett.

Trump makes notable claim

He offered a sharp opinion on Crockett, labeling her as "a low-IQ person" in a critical tone that underscored his disapproval.

The discussion soon pivoted to another far-left figure, Omar, a Minnesota representative who was born in Somalia and came to the United States as a young refugee fleeing conflict.

Trump then described a remarkable exchange from a meeting with Somalia’s president, revealing that he had broached the subject of Omar potentially going back to her country of origin during their talk.

Somali leader's alleged remarks emerge

According to Trump, the response from the Somali head of state was both direct and unequivocal, leaving a strong impression.

"You know I met the head of Somalia, did you know that?" Trump recounted to the gathered press. "And I suggested that maybe he'd like to take [Ilhan Omar] back. And he said, 'I don't want her.'"

This statement intensified Trump’s long-standing public critique of Omar, a lawmaker who has frequently been on the receiving end of his pointed remarks due to her progressive stances and vocal advocacy on various social issues.

Kirk's death spurs incendiary remarks

In a separate context, Rep. Omar has recently been in the national spotlight for her reaction to the shocking murder of Kirk, a prominent conservative commentator, at a college campus located in Utah.

She articulated a profound sense of horror and sadness about the act of political violence, reflecting on its devastating personal impact on Kirk’s loved ones.

However, she also offered follow-up commentary that did not sit well with many.

Omar's critique

In addition to expressing grief, Omar also directed strong criticism toward individuals who characterized Kirk’s public actions as merely those of someone seeking civil conversation, rejecting such narratives with intense language.

"There are a lot of people who are out there talking about [Charlie Kirk] just wanting to have a civil debate," she asserted. "These people are full of shit, and it's important for us to call them out while we feel anger and sadness."

Her comments have sparked wider conversations, amplifying the polarized views surrounding Kirk’s legacy while the nation grapples with the aftermath of his violent death and the broader challenges of fostering constructive dialogue in a deeply divided society.
