answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2020 answer text <p>Her Majesty's Government is concerned about the security situation in Mali and the spread of insecurity across the region. We remain in close contact with our key partners, including the US and France, to share assessments and coordinate activity. No decisions on the status of US forces in West Africa have been formally communicated by the US Government to HMG. We assess that any possible withdrawal of US forces will have a minimal impact on our deployed forces, but we will keep this under close review.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 15/01/2020 12:41:07 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie
