French soldiers have begun withdrawing from Niger following orders from the military junta that took power in July. While the U.S. has formally designated the takeover as a coup and suspended aid, officials stated they have no plans to remove the 1,000 U.S. military personnel currently stationed in the country. The hosts highlight the irony of the U.S. remaining while the French are ousted.
