TRUMP CALLS BUHARI A LIFELESS PRESIDENT HE DOESN'T WANT TO MEET AGAIN

United States President Donald Trump has told his aides he never wanted to meet someone so lifeless again like President Muhammadu Buhari, according to three people familiar with the matter, Financial Times reported.

President Buhari met with the US president for the first time and only time yet in April 2018.

“The first meeting, with Nigeria’s ailing 75-year-old Muhammadu Buhari in April, ended with the US president telling aides he never wanted to meet someone so lifeless again, according to three people familiar with the matter.”

Trump is expected to welcome Kenya’s Uhuru Kenyatta to the White House on Monday for what will be only the second one-on-one meeting the US president has held with a sub-Saharan African leader since he took office last year.
