[Asia Economy New York=Special Correspondent Joselgina] The Joe Biden administration decided on the 16th (local time) to redeploy U.S. troops to Somalia in Africa, reversing the withdrawal carried out by the previous Donald Trump administration.
According to AP News and others, President Biden approved the Department of Defense's request to redeploy troops to Somalia to counter the Al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group Al-Shabaab. This reverses former President Trump's withdrawal decision made in December 2020.
