President Donald Trump said he opposed U.S. recognition of Somaliland in an interview with the New York Post published on Friday, dismissing the idea after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would become the first country to recognize the breakaway region.

“No,” Trump told the newspaper when asked whether the United States would recognize Somaliland, adding: “Does anyone know what Somaliland is, really?”
