TrumpJ invited Bobi WineWine in U.S. Says It’s my honour to invite Robert Kyagulanyi Bobi Wine, the new Uganda President, to the oval meeting so that we can discuss the future of Uganda and Africa at large with reference to leadership”.
The post claims Donald Trump, the 47th President of the United States of America, invited Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu, the President of the National Unity Platform, an opposition political party in Uganda, to a high-level formal meeting in the Oval Office in the US to discuss leadership matters, recognised him as the president of Uganda, and offered to help him deal with Museveni before March 2026.

THE VERIFICATION.
The claim was subjected to verification using the Info Verifier, an expert fact-checking tool, by inputting the claim statement for first-hand analysis.
Results from the tool affirmed that the claim is false, as seen in the picture below.
To further verify the results of the Info Verifier regarding the claim, we conducted aGoogle Reverse Image Search to trace its source. Upon re-examining the screenshot, it appears to have originated from a Facebook post named Yasin Keeya. Results from the Google Reverse Image search were similar, but none of them was of Yasin Keeya. A subsequent search for additional context led to the discovery of a Facebook post published by Yasin Keeya on 2nd February, 2026, featuring the same caption.
This means that the content initially appeared on Facebook before a screenshot of the post was later shared by @kliz.venus on TikTok.
According to the posting history of Yasin Keeya, the page frequently posts/publishes unverified and misleading claims, particularly concerning NUP leaders, political events, and global news events. Many posts on this account contain inaccurate information, claims and exaggerated headlines without supporting evidence. The account has a record of spreading misleading content, which raises concerns about its reliability as a source of factual information.
According to a phone interview that was followed up with a WhatsApp text with Hon. David Lewis Rubongoya, the Secretary General of the National Unity Platform (NUP), he denied the claim. I quote, “…that’s not true, on the phone call. He further added that they always update the nation on matters that require their attention, and this is not one of them.
Additionally, an in-depth search on the White House website for the Briefings and Statements website was carried out, and no official statement from the White House nor media reports attest to it.
Both the Facebook post by Yasin Keeya as well as a screenshot by @kliz.venus are FALSE.
FACTS
Based on the phone call interview with Hon. David Lewis Rubongoya, Secretary General for National Unity Platform, there was no invitation extended to Robert Kyagulanyi to the U.S. According to the claim, President Trump was quoted saying, “… It’s my honor to invite Robert Kyagulanyi Bobi Wine the new Uganda President to the oval meeting so that we can discuss the future of Uganda and Africa at large with reference to leadership”
Lastly, the claim has a quote of what was supposedly said by Trump. Please pick it up and do an advanced search by putting the quote statement in quotation marks and paste it in the Google search bar to look for any related information
According to the claim, President Trump was quoted, …It’s my honour to invite Robert Kyagulanyi Bobi Wine, the new Ugandan President, to the Oval Office so that we can discuss the future of Uganda and Africa at large with reference to leadership. This made me make an official inquiry to the U.S. Embassy in Uganda.
VERDICT
FALSE: The claim, ‘Donald Trump invited Bobi Wine to the U.S to discuss leadership matters and promise to handle the incumbent Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on his behalf is fake news. No confirmation has been gathered from the United States Embassy communications team, and the claims have also been denied by the NUP party senior leader, Hon. David Lewis Rubongoya,
