MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The Government of Liberia has refuted the content, tone, and intent of a recent article titled:” Liberia Selected as One of Trump’s ‘Dumpsite’ Countries for Criminals in Illegal Immigrants.”

According to the Foreign Ministry, the article, which has circulated across social media and digital platforms, presents a grossly distorted narrative that misrepresents the US-Liberia bilateral cooperation.

The ministry says the Government of Liberia has not been in any conversation or negotiations regarding third-party nationals being sent from the United States to Liberia.

In a statement, the ministry reiterated that Liberia has not entered into any agreement, formal or informal, that obligates it to receive individuals who are not Liberian citizens.

Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry noted that the Government of Liberia is engaged with the United States on actions required to address issues to prevent Liberia from being placed on a travel ban.

The Foreign Ministry also cautions the public from being drawn into misinformation and disinformation, and urges the media to desist from such destructive actions of writing stories on false claims.
