WASHINGTON — A spokesperson for Eric Trump, the son of U.S. President Donald Trump, has denied reports suggesting he met with Abdirahman Cirro, the president of Somalia’s northwestern regional administration, during a dinner event in Davos, Switzerland.

Kimberly Benza, a spokesperson for Eric Trump, dismissed claims that the two held talks or discussed political or economic matters during the Jewish community dinner held on the sidelines of the Davos meetings.

“There was no meeting between Eric Trump and Abdirahman Cirro, and there were no discussions on politics or economics,” Benza said. “It was a dinner event. Cirro stood nearby and greeted Eric Trump following his speech.”

Benza confirmed that Eric Trump attended the dinner as a guest, alongside other international figures, including Israeli President Isaac Herzog, but stressed that no formal or informal engagement took place between Trump and the Somali regional leader.Trump Aide Denies Claims of Davos Meeting With Somaliland President
