Trump is attacking immigrants from four countries in Georgia

President Donald Trump launched an attack on immigration policies during a speech he delivered at an election rally in Perry, Georgia, on Saturday, October 24, 2026. Trump has criticized the admission of dozens of specific countries, describing Libya, Yemen, Haiti and Somalia as terror-stricken countries amid his conservative supporters.

In his speech to the audience, Trump questioned the feasibility of welcoming immigrants from those four countries, suggesting instead that immigrants from European countries like Norway, Sweden and Denmark be welcomed. He also criticized Democratic Senator John Ossoff's legislative proposal to support the extension of the temporary protection regime for Haitian migrants under the humanitarian asylum laws in force in the United States.

The Libyan Foreign Ministry on Sunday, 25 October 2026, summoned the U.S.-listed business to hand over a formal protest note against these statements. This diplomatic move comes in response to the descriptions received in the election speech of Georgia's candidates.

These positions relate to earlier statements Trump made during his first term as president in 2018 when he used similar phrases against Haiti and African countries during discussions related to the immigration file inside the White House.

Promotional events for both parties are scheduled to continue before heading to the polls in the US congressional midterm elections on November 3, 2026. This vote will decide the balance of power and determine the parliamentary majority in both the Senate and House of Representatives.
