The US Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly rejected Republican Senator Rand Paul's measure to withdraw US forces from Niger.
The Senate blocked Paul's measure with a 11-86 vote.
Paul has raised concerns about the presence of US troops in Niger in the wake of the military coup in the country.
According to Paul, the United States has some 1,100 troops in Niger, which they have partnered with to carry out counterterrorism efforts in the region.
However, Paul has said he believes it's best for the US public to weigh in on whether the Biden administration should continue to have American forces partner with the Niger's armed forces that took over power in the country.
The United States at the moment has suspended military cooperation with Niger due to the coup.
The former French colony, Niger saw an elite military force depose the French-backed president, Mohamed Bazoum, in late July.
The new military authorities demanded that France call back its ambassador and withdraw troops from Niger's soil.
Multiple protests have taken place outside the French military base in Niamey since the coup, with protesters demanding that Niger's former colonial master end its military presence in the country.
