Trump says he is unaware of reported plan to send Afghans to Congo

24th April, 2026 · admin

Amu: President Donald Trump said he was unaware of a reported plan by his administration to send more than 1,100 Afghans to the Democratic Republic of Congo, responding to a question from a reporter about the proposal. “I don’t know. I have to check that,” Trump said. The brief remark comes amid mounting criticism from Democratic lawmakers and congressional leaders, who have warned that such a move could put vulnerable Afghans at risk and damage the credibility of US commitments. The group in question, currently housed at Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar, includes interpreters, former members of Afghan Special Operations forces and their families. Many were evacuated by the United States after the Taliban returned to power in 2021, and more than 400 children are among them. Click here to read more (external link).
