The US president launched new criticisms against the Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota, amid the political controversy surrounding her in Washington.
US President Donald Trump lashed out at Democratic
congresswoman Ilhan Omar, questioning her commitment to the United States.
"I don't think she loves our country at all,"
Trump stated, referring to Omar, whose political positions have been the
subject of constant clashes with the president and other Republican
representatives.
These statements add to the political confrontation between
Trump and the Somali congresswoman, who has maintained a critical stance toward
various policies of the Republican administration, particularly regarding
immigration and foreign policy.
Omar, a representative from Minnesota and one of the most
recognized voices of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, has engaged
in several exchanges with Republican figures due to her opinions on the US
government.
The statement about Omar's feelings toward the United States
constitutes a personal assessment by the president, supported by the political
leadership of the representative originally from Somalia.
