The United States will pull the majority of its troops from Chad and Niger as it works to restore key agreements governing what role there might be for the American military and its counterterrorism operations, the Pentagon said.
U.S. and Nigerien officials were expected to meet in Niger's capital, Niamey, “to initiate discussions on an orderly and responsible withdrawal of U.S. forces," the State Department said in a statement.
The U.S. will relocate most of the forces it's deployed in Chad, and the majority of the U.S. personnel assigned to Niger are also expected to depart.
