in terms of nigeria, china has the letter -- is the largest investor in nigeria and a have been importing have been importing. show that nigeria imports from the united states. clearly, with the rise of the nigeria, arkets, how crude exporter, will deal with that is something that really the chinese are going to have to be involved in. whether or not the trade coalition is set to go to china later this week is able to bring that type of back and forth, and address the concerns, not only from the international community, but domestically, amongst republicans, amongst the art culture -- the agriculture, we will have to wait and see. i talked earlier to former u.s. ambassador to canada, bruce heyman. he pointed out on trade, trump is a more -- more of a tactician rather than a strategist. in this case, the geopolitics of trade with china is a big factor. how would you rate his performance, especially when you factor in the iran equation? alex: i'm not in the business of judging the president's work. i will say he has -- i think there is a strategy in place with china. i think there are some

nigeria was one of the first african nations to join the coalition to defeat isis, and nigeria forces leading regional efforts against isis in west africa and doing very well as we have. nigeria is also leading african nations in the fight against boko haram, and another ruthless jihadist terrorist group. you've been reading about them. they kidnapped the young girls and young women. many of whom never are seen again. it's tough stuff. this summer was my honor to meet with two brave young women, joy bashara and lydia pogu, kidnapped by boca ko haram frome school in nigeria. i was deeply moved by their inspiring stories of courage, resilience and survival. they really were two amazing young woman. i told joy and lydia my administration is committed to combating both jihadist tear original and the scourge of human trafficking and smuggling in the world today there is more human trafficking than there has ever been, if you can believe this. they use the internet better than almost anybody is able to use the internet. so think of it. in a modern world, in this world, there's more human tr

would like to help nigeria as donald trump said if you remove corruption from places like nigeria where it's known to exist that it makes it much more level playing field for american companies to get involved they don't have to be looking at bribes they don't have to be looking at actual payments they can simply do business one to one with a nigerian partner and so i think donald trump being the businessman here is will certainly look at that as an option for the future and certainly something that he would perhaps direct the treasury department to look at in more detail thank you alan fischer no sign of the white house so we've just had that press conference and across in nigeria's capital we have general and standing by jamal i'm guessing some of what was said in that press conference will be music to the ears of not nigerians but maybe not this particular point about how this hundred billion dollars worth of aid now comes with a very specific caviar and that caviar is to take down the trade barriers when she would think would work in america's favor rather than one theory is. well y
