Trump's Attempt to Counter China's Influence in Africa
Trump's Attempt to Counter China's Influence in Africa
The White House is hosting a summit this week in hopes of strengthening business ties with Africa. However, the invitation list has sparked controversy as only five African countries out of more than 50 will be in attendance. This move has raised questions about the US's true intentions in the continent. While the US claims to be countering China's growing influence in Africa, the exclusion of key players like Nigeria and South Africa undermines this narrative. This selective approach could potentially hinder the US's efforts to establish a strong economic presence in Africa and could potentially push these excluded countries towards China's open arms.
