U.S. President Donald Trump claimed no one has heard of Lesotho, which led to a rebuttal from the country’s foreign minister, Lejone Mpotjoane. He criticized Trump’s statement and highlighted that the U.S. has an embassy in Lesotho, indicating its recognized status.

U.S. President Donald Trump recently made a statement suggesting that no one has heard of Lesotho, a small African nation. This remark prompted a response from Lesotho’s foreign minister, Lejone Mpotjoane, who expressed his surprise and disappointment at Trump’s comments. Mpotjoane emphasized the importance of recognizing Lesotho’s presence in the international community, particularly mentioning that the U.S. maintains an embassy in the country.

The exchange highlights a significant misunderstanding regarding Lesotho’s global recognition and political presence. Minister Mpotjoane’s response serves to remind audiences of the diplomatic relationships that exist between nations, countering the notion that Lesotho goes unnoticed on the world stage.
