History
On August 3, 1960, the U.S. formally recognized the Republic of Niger shortly after the country gained independence from France. The embassy was established the same day, when Donald R. Norland presented his credentials as Chargé d'Affaires ad interim. The embassy began operating on February 3, 1961, with Joseph W. Schutz as Chargé d'Affaires ad interim.[1]
Following the 2010 Nigerien coup d'état, Niger returned to constitutional civilian rule with the inauguration of a new president in 2011.[2]
In August 2023, the U.S. reduced embassy staff in the midst of the 2023 Nigerien crisis.[3] This occurred days after the French embassy in Niamey had been attacked.[4]
