Trump Administration and Nigeria: Current Diplomatic Status
Trade and Economic Relations
The Trump administration's protectionist trade stance, evidenced by efforts to increase beef imports that have already angered domestic ranchers, suggests limited near term expansion of Nigeria trade agreements. Existing commercial relationships continue without significant renegotiation.
Regional Security
