It is reported that the head of the Nigerian government, Ali Lamin, turned to one of Washington’s representatives with a demand to withdraw American troops from the territory of the African country.

The United States agreed, although it had long opposed such a step.

This is reported with reference to John Hudson, an employee of The Washington Post.

Details of the meeting between US and Niger representatives

It is noted that earlier the representative of the American State Department, Kurt Campbell, met with the Prime Minister of Niger, Ali Lamin.

According to a statement by a journalist from The Washington Post, the American statesman accepted the demand for the withdrawal of the United States military contingent from the territory of the country in West Africa.

An employee of the American publication believes that the withdrawal of American troops from Niger will affect the “readiness” of the United States to conduct counter-terrorism operations in the region.

According to another Western news agency (Reuters), the parties will soon begin negotiations on how exactly the withdrawal of US troops will be carried out.

Previously, whether the US will send its troops to the Gaza Strip.
