U.S. Senator Jim Risch, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has rejected an apology from Ugandan General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, son of President Yoweri Museveni, calling it insufficient after Muhoozi’s "reckless" tweets. Risch urged the administration to review Washington’s security partnership with Kampala, including potential sanctions and a reassessment of military cooperation.

• Muhoozi deleted controversial social media posts and apologized to the United States on Friday, January 30.
• Risch specifically warned against tolerating instability and recklessness when American personnel, US interests, and civilian lives are at stake.
• The controversy follows Risch’s earlier call for sanctions due to election-related violence and human rights abuses during Uganda’s January general elections, where President Museveni secured a seventh term with 7.9 million votes.
