MALI STRIKES: Trump Administration Weighs Military Action Against Al-Qaeda-Linked Terror Group


The Trump administration is weighing military strikes in Mali against JNIM, an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group, The Washington Post reports.

Senior officials are divided over whether the U.S. should act directly. Counterterrorism official Sebastian Gorka is pushing for military action, while others argue regional forces should take the lead. Options under discussion reportedly include U.S. airstrikes targeting JNIM leaders, but no final decision has been made.
