This afternoon in New York I joined
a number of fellow African Heads of State at a Lunch hosted by President Donald
J. Trump. We discussed, among other things, America's ongoing support for
Nigeria's fight against Terrorism and Corruption.
I thanked President Trump for his
goodwill phone call to me earlier in the year, while I was in London, and for
fulfilling the promise he made at the time regarding America's supply of arms
to our Military, to support the fight against Boko Haram.
Our relationship with the United
States is one we value very highly, and we will continue to count on America's
enthusiastic support, including for the repatriation of looted public funds,
and in the security situation in the Lake Chad Basin and in the Gulf of Guinea.
