The country adjacent to Niger is, until lately, one of our best allies in the region and their military forces have been an effective force against Boko Haram Islamic terrorists who operate in Nigeria. But not anymore .. thanks to Trump and gang.
Chad is rich with oil and Exxon-Mobil (Secretary of State Tillerson's old company) is their major buyer. A year or so ago, Chad fined Exxon several billion for not paying the proper taxes on the oil they've been exporting.
In return, the U.S. just banned the people of Chad from visiting the U.S.A. Firing back, Chad removed its army from Nigeria, and suddenly the pressure on Boko Haram was off.
The result was a Muslim terrorist ambush of the American patrol and the deaths of the four American troops.
No wonder Trump doesn't want to discuss or reveal any information on how this disaster -- not unlike that of the Benghazi tragedy -- came to be.
Realizing he could be in deep shit again, Trump has deflected attention from this situation by playing games with healthcare, and causing a ruckus with calls to the surviving families of the four U.S. troops who were killed in Niger.
Reality.
