President Donald Trump has frequently criticized former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s handling of the 2012 ambush in Libya that led to the death of U.S. citizens, and now – following the recent deaths of American soldiers in Niger – politicians and pundits are referring to the event as “Trump’s Benghazi.”
On October 4, during a routine patrol on the Mali-Niger border, four U.S. soldiers, along with 40 military personnel from Niger, were ambushed by an Islamic extremist group. The attack resulted in the deaths of the U.S. soldiers, in a time when many people are questioning the reasons for America’s presence in the North African region.
