Miller also added that there are hundreds of millions of dollars of US assistance at stake in Niger

Miller was asked after the acting Deputy Secretary Victoria Nuland's meetings with the Junta Military members if there was any idea where things are going

Replying to the question, US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said, "Acting Secretary Nuland met yesterday with leaders of the junta and made clear that there was a diplomatic path forward for them if they would choose a return to constitutional order"

"She also made clear that there would be consequences if they didn't, that there are hundreds of millions of dollars of U.S. assistance at stake," Miller added

Miller further informed that Nuland didn't achieve any breakthroughs and it's not at all clear that the Junta Military will choose the diplomatic path forward
