"More than 1,000 U.S. troops are effectively being held "hostage" in Niger with medical supplies running low stuck between the military junta-controlled government's demands for them to leave and the Biden administration's refusal to let them go home after the end of their deployments, according to a report prepared by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and obtained exclusively by Breitbart News.

In addition, the report accuses Biden administration officials of trying to cover up the situation to lawmakers, as well as to troops deployed there and their families anxiously awaiting their return."

I believe they're using the term "hostage" figuratively and not literally.

"stuck between the military junta-controlled government's demands for them to leave and the Biden administration's refusal to let them go home"

"They are, in effect, hostages of an indecisive Commander-in-Chief," the report said
