Trump: We Look Forward to Growing Our Trade Relationship with Nigeria Based on ‘Fairness and Reciprocity’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "I am pleased that Nigeria’s one of our largest trading partners in the region and we look forward to growing our trade relationship based on the principle of fairness and reciprocity. We give Nigeria well over $1 billion in aid every year and we have already started talking with the president about taking down the trade barriers, very substantial barriers to the United States trading with Nigeria. We think that we are owed that. President Buhari has also taken several steps to fight corruption and improve the Nigerian business climate and most of all, to me, ripping down those trade barriers. These measures will make it easier for Nigeria and the United States companies to invest, and we will be investing substantially in Nigeria if they can create that level playing field.”
