The U.S. Senate decisively rejected a bill on Thursday, October 26, 2023, that would have forced President Joe Biden to withdraw American troops from Niger, a West African country where the military seized power in July.
Earlier in October, the U.S. formally recognized the military coup in Niger, leading to the official suspension of aid. However, according to U.S. officials, there were no plans to reduce the number of American troops stationed in the nation.
Niger has been a U.S. partner in the fight against militants in Africa, where hundreds have been killed and millions displaced. The Department of Defense employs over 1,000 people nationwide.
