Bola Tinubu’s reported trip to the United States to resolve the diplomatic frictions between his regime and the Donald Trump’s administration has been abruptly cancelled.
Top sources informed SaharaReporters that discussions between the Tinubu’s regime and the White House were already ongoing “but a face-to-face meeting is not yet on the cards.”
The Aso Rock source noted that the upcoming G-20 Summit in South Africa is being considered for Tinubu’s attendance and as the viable opportunity for the Nigerian ruler to have talks with President Trump.
The source said, “The meeting between Bola Tinubu and Donald Trump is not going as reported. No plans are in place to go to Washington DC; conversations between the US and Nigeria are ongoing but a face-to-face meeting is not yet on the cards.
“Rather there is an invitation on the cards for Tinubu to attend the G-20 summit on November 22 in Durban, South Africa where a likely meeting between Tinubu and Trump is a possibility.”
SaharaReporters earlier reported that Tinubu and United States President Trump were expected to meet in the coming days, either at the State House in Abuja or the White House in Washington, to further strengthen cooperation between both nations on counterterrorism and global security.
This was according to a statement issued by Daniel Bwala, Media Aide to Tinubu, adding that both leaders share a common vision in combating terrorism and protecting humanity from violent extremism.
Bwala had made the assertion after Trump designated Nigeria as a ‘country of particular concern.’
