Questions Swirl After 4 U.S. Troops Die In Niger (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Two weeks ago, in a remote part of North Africa you probably never think about, in Niger, a dozen US troops were wrapping up a meeting with village leaders when all hell broke loose. An ambush, we’re told. By ISIS-linked fighters. It got fierce in a hurry. When it was over, four American Green Berets were dead. For twelve days, there was silence on the deaths from President Trump. When he did speak, all hell broke loose, again. This hour, On Point: What happened in Niger, and the President on military deaths. --Tom Ashbrook
