President Muhammadu Buhari recently had a  bilateral meeting with President Donald Trump of the United States.

Interestingly, not too long ago, Trump was accused of calling Nigeria a shithole country when he said, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?”

However, at his meeting with Buhari, the US President flattered Nigeria, describing it as one of the most beautiful countries, with the two leaders confirming they did not discuss the “shithole” controversy.
