WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Several US Republican politicians have criticized US President Joe Biden’s foreign policy in West Africa, Fox News reported on Wednesday.
“President Biden’s foreign policy has been a disaster on every continent, and Africa is no exception,” Sen. Tim Scott told Fox News Digital. Scott added that China and Russia were making strong inroads into the region, while the Biden administration was fumbling US strategic interests.
Rep. Matt Gaetz also said to Fox that US troops were being used as “pawns” in Niger, and Biden “has two choices: resupply our troops or bring them home ASAP.”
Niger’s military government recently ordered 1,000 US military personnel and contractors to leave the country, while allowing Russian forces to move onto the same airbase. Chad has also ordered some of the 100 US service personnel stationed there to leave.
