Trump announces rescue of US hostage in Niger
U.S. President Donald Trump announced the release of American citizen Kevin Raidaout, who had been held since October 2025 by a group linked to ISIS in Niger. He was handed over to American authorities after negotiations, with the assistance of the Libyan army led by Khalifa Haftar, though the details of the operation have not been disclosed. The release comes amid a deteriorating security situation in the Sahel region, where armed groups are launching frequent attacks, and Washington warns against travel to Niger due to unrest and terrorism.
