Spoke to Nigerien President Bazoum. I conveyed our continued unwavering support for the democratically elected President of Niger and the rule of law and democratic governance.

Today, we ordered the temporary departure of non-emergency personnel and eligible family members from Niger. The U.S. is committed to our relationship with the people of Niger. The embassy remains open, and our leaders are diplomatically engaged at the highest levels.
