They made a lot of money from Nigerians especially through visa applications, so obviously they will not close the one in Nigeria that soon. |

lexy2014:They do not have military bases in all countries of the world but they have embassies in nearly all countries of the world. Military bases are sited close to some countries to checkmate their excesses, because dangerous weapons are in their possession. The military bases has economic value to America because they are protecting their interest Especially in Asian countries most of who sponsor terrorism throughout the world. If not for America support many weak and small countries would have been overpowered wiped out from the map of the world. |

DeOTR:First, because less than 10 Luxembourg citizens visit the US embassy in a year, they don't travel out of their country like Nigerians and their country has virtually no business tie with the US that can warrant movement of people from the US to Luxembourg and Luxembourg to US. Some of the African countries affected are majorly french-speaking, with less people visiting the US within a year. It is not good economically for the US. |

Peakdesign23:Those poor African counties are not brining in enough Visa Application and rejection money Nigeira is generating massive wealth for America. Apply for visa, get rejection and your money is gone. Go to US embassy now, and see thousands of Nigerians fighting on queue to get in. Great business for America. |

MadamExcellency:They will never do that so long as African politicians hide their stolen funds in the USA The same Trump is selling 'gold card' permanent residencies already; he's just being a businessman, long story short. He is running the US government as a business, and of course he's taking dirty money. |

ALTERNATEID:. if this piece of news is genuine it is a welcome development cos it will put us out of our misery. We are tired of applying for US visas and being told you are denied without being questioned. I believe President Trump is not insane, if the embassies and consulates were closed, they would migrate to outsourcing like the tlscontact or vfs global, which is a welcome development. It's about flowing with the rhythm. Ibi ti aye ma ti yi si, ni ki e ba won yi si. Addendum: I just remembered the Fifa World Cup is next year, and it is an opportunity to see inspiring new environments. And I am sure they would want to issue a lot of visa for the events. Therefore, it's better to migrate to a more transparent outsourcing mechanism than the biased system currently in force. |

LordBiden:There are people who voted in the last presidential election that were not yet born when a US president last visited the country. "Most do visit" is an oversell of the country's importance. |

jospepper:yes, ambassadorial appointment, you are absolutely correct. During the reign of Obasanjo,when I traveled to Ivory coast,I went to the Nigeria embassy to collect lasse passe because I lost my passport. I was surprised,the small Hausa boy I met as the ambassador of Nigeria at that time |

They removed those countries that refused to allow them pillage their natural resources, typical.

Celestialsword:I believe having so many military bases is a big and expensive challenge to US. They are too costly to maintain and could eventually be unsustainable. The US currently have about 500k troops across Europe, Middle East, Asia and Africa when it is not actually in any war. Just imagine how much it cost to maintain all those troops and the equipment that are just seating there redundant or see very limited action. I haven’t even mention all those fleets they have on the ocean with thousands of navy personnel on rotation and equipment and jets that have to constantly maintained. You can see why the US defence budget is so big— more than the next 10 countries combined. This is a world power problem, it happened to Rome, the Dutch and the British empire, the US is feeling it. As a world power, you get stretched trying to main your power around the world and it can get exhausting. It seem Trump is trying to do something about it. You just can’t keep spending resources on something that brings very little value to you while other countries are just free loading. China unlike the US currently don’t have that problem, they spend their budget to build new military infrastructure and equipment. That’s why they are building new fighter jets and increasing their fleets at a rate faster than any country right now. If things go on like this, it’s just a matter of time before they close the gap. |
