The United States is in talks with the military junta in Niger to leave behind a small contingent of US forces as a majority of the less than 1,000 troops stationed in the West African nation are set to withdraw. The withdrawal order has been issued, and discussions are ongoing to determine the logistics of the departure.
A US delegation is scheduled to travel to Niger to discuss the implementation of the withdrawal plan. The civilian head of US special operations mentioned that the Pentagon has yet to engage in detailed conversations with Niger, focusing primarily on the logistics of the withdrawal process.
