No recent U.S. military strikes on Nigeria have occurred, nor are any publicly indicated by the Department of Defense or U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), reflecting stable bilateral relations focused on counterterrorism cooperation against Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa affiliates. In the past 30 days, developments remain limited to routine joint training exercises and Nigerian-led operations, with no escalation signals from diplomatic channels or official statements. Traders note the absence of tensions—such as territorial disputes, sanctions, or proxy conflicts—that typically precede U.S. airstrikes in Africa, as seen historically in Somalia or Libya. Upcoming events like potential AFRICOM briefings or Nigeria's elections could influence sentiment, but structural barriers including sovereignty respect and alliance status keep probabilities low absent major provocations.
