Bravo President Trump! The message is unmistakable, do not take American citizens as hostages anywhere in the world! Especially not in a presidential election year!
This event may portent that the Trump administration in their second term would focus more on Africa not least to counter the growing Chinese influence!
"No U.S. military personnel were injured during the [high risk] operation." Stunning! U.S. military professionalism at its best!
"The raid included the extremely long-distance movement of forces via multiple C-17A Globemaster III transport aircraft flights and the employment of a quartet of both CV-22 Osprey tilt-rotors and MC-130 special operations transports, the latter of which pushed through Rota, Spain, before continuing to their target. AC-130 gunships and a large contingent of aerial refueling tankers also supported this operation. ... The CIA provided intelligence that led to locating Walton, and Marine Special Operations elements in Africa helped find his whereabouts, a former U.S. official told ABC News. The operation reportedly involved the governments of the United States, Niger, and Nigeria."
