In a speech in Pennsylvania, President Donald Trump launched a personal attack on US Representative Ilhan Omar. Trump mocked Omar’s Somali heritage, stating she comes from ‘the worst country in the world’ with ‘no parliament’ and ‘no police’. He also repeated the claim that ‘she married her brother in order to get in’. India Today’s Foreign Affairs Editor Geeta Mohan reports that these remarks were made in the context of immigration policies and Trump’s criticism of lawmakers who oppose him.
