I read somewhere the US has 1K troops in Niger, so not an insignificant commitment to that region.

I'd think we would support the ECOWAS troops with intel, logistics & $. It'd wouldn't be good for the US geopolitically to let this stand (e.g. much increased Russian influence, much decreased US influence).

I don't know much about the domestic politics but do wonder if this coup is better for the citizens of Niger vs previous regime.
