President Joe Biden’s administration has growing doubts about its ability to thwart a coup plot against one of the closest United States allies in West Africa, despite the relative isolation of the military junta in Niger and abroad.
While Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russia’s invasion has global attention on the battlefield, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s government is also busy advancing a diplomatic initiative: a peace summit to build momentum and cohesion among international partners on its 10-point peace plan. The United States should be a leader in backing this diplomatic effort which is on the agenda this weekend in multilateral talks in Saudi Arabia.
