Somalia & International — United Nations Security Council

Somalia: Somalia's fragile government and its fight against al-Shabaab militants are heavily dependent on the African Union peacekeeping mission (AUSSOM). The withdrawal of U.S. support for AUSSOM's logistics is expected to end the mission, leaving Somalia vulnerable to increased insurgent activity and further instability.

International — United Nations Security Council: The United States would not object to the International — United Nations Security Council renewing AUSSOM's mandate, but would oppose any extension that included UN logistical or operational support, effectively making a renewal without support meaningless.

Somalia: Somalia, as the rotating president of the International — United Nations Security Council, confirmed the emergency meeting to discuss the Venezuela crisis.
