In a major diplomatic move, the United States has recalled its ambassador to Nigeria and a wave of other U.S. envoys worldwide in what Washington says is a routine realignment of foreign policy priorities. President Donald Trump has ordered the recall of Richard Mills, the U.S. ambassador to Nigeria, along with nearly 30 other U.S. ambassadors and senior diplomats stationed in countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. The U.S. State Department says these changes are meant to align diplomatic representation with the “America First” agenda, allowing the administration to staff missions with envoys who reflect new policy priorities. But critics warn that pulling so many ambassadors at once could disrupt diplomatic continuity and slowdown cooperation on shared priorities from security and trade to health and regional stability. For Nigeria, this comes at a time of important cooperation with Washington on issues like counter-terrorism, economic reform, and visa policy. Analysts say leadership gaps at embassies can leave important negotiations in limbo and slowdown high-level engagement. Despite the recall, diplomats will not lose their careers many are expected to be reassigned to roles in Washington or elsewhere within the U.S. foreign service.
