Bwala made this known in a post on X, where he noted that both leaders share common ground in the global fight against insurgency and terrorism.
“Both President Bola Tinubu and President Donald Trump have shared interest in the fight against insurgency and all forms of terrorism against humanity,” Bwala stated.
Trump recently caused a stir after he accused the Nigerian government of failing to protect Christians and threatened to halt U.S. aid or even consider military action if the alleged killings continue.
In response, Bwala highlighted that the Tinubu administration remains fully committed to combating terrorism, noting that Nigeria has already benefited from previous U.S. military support during Trump’s time in office.
He added that the arms and security collaborations initiated under Trump’s presidency have been “adequately utilised” in Nigeria’s ongoing counterterrorism operations.
The proposed meeting is expected to ease rising diplomatic tension between both countries and reaffirm Nigeria’s commitment to religious freedom and internal security.
