has snubbed President Muhammadu
Buhari by calling 10 leaders of other
countries within 24 hours of his victory
without putting a call to Nigeria.
Donald Trump has called 10 leaders of
other countries within 24 hours of his
victory without extending such call to
Nigeria.
Trump also sparked suggestions that he
may side-line the United Kingdom in his
policies after he called 9 world leaders
before extending a call to the British
Prime Minister Theresa May.

The decision to call the prime minister of
Ireland ahead of Mrs May prompted
questions about the health of the ‘special
relationship’ between the UK and the US
following Trump’s victory.
But some fear the new president does not
view the UK’s interests as a priority.
See the list of world leaders Donald Trump
has spoken to since he won the US
presidential election.
1. President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt
2. Prime Minister Enda Kenny of Ireland

8. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull of
Australia
9. President Park Geun-hye of South
Korea
10. And British prime minister Theresa
May
Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari
was among world leaders who
congratulated the Donald Trump on his
victory at the polls.
Buhari in a statement on Wednesday,
November 9, also congratulated US
citizens on the outcome of the election.
Do you think Trump not calling Buhari
posses a bad sign for Nigeria – America
relations?
