Lesotho Reacts After Trump Says ‘Nobody Knows the Country’
Lesotho, a small country in southern Africa, has been left surprised by former US President Donald Trump’s recent comment that “nobody has heard of the country.” According to BBC, many people in Lesotho feel insulted by the remark, as they believe their country has a rich history and strong international connections.
BBC reports that Lesotho, which is completely surrounded by South Africa, is well known for its beautiful mountains, unique culture, and textile industry. Many in the country took to social media to express their disappointment, reminding people that Lesotho is a recognized nation with a population of over 2 million.
Some citizens told BBC that while Lesotho is not as famous as big countries like the US or China, it has its own identity and plays an important role in African politics and trade. Others joked that Trump’s comment might actually help Lesotho become more popular because now more people are searching for information about it online.
According to BBC, this is not the first time Trump has made controversial comments about other countries. Some people in Lesotho believe his words show a lack of global awareness, while others think he simply enjoys making bold statements.
As reactions continue, BBC reports that many in Lesotho hope this moment will encourage more people to learn about their country’s culture, tourism, and achievements.
