Moving to the US, and President Trump has hosted the leaders of five West African nations at the White House. While Africa hasn’t been the focus of key Trump foreign policy, countries there ARE facing the fall-out from some of his administration’s changes — whether on tariffs, travel restrictions, or sharp cuts to US foreign aid.

EXTORTION.
This is fantastic development. I have never seen any other USA president reaching out to countries in Africa and put their leaders on the same table. Trump is indeed creating extra ordinary times – historical significance.
Bribes. Trump wants bribes.
Trump can always find any reasons to increase tariffs. For example, even though Brazil has a trade deficit with the United States, the reason can still be political opposition. Therefore, the world should not have a single pole, whether it is politics, tech, national alliances, economics, finance or currency. If there is only a single pole, you can only accept bullying, and the world will not be at peace.
Trump is the epitome of waste, fraud, and abuse!
Hello , nobody owes a living
Free resources obvious you the west and America are nothing without African resources and raw materials
Talking about waste fraud and abuse while giving a blank check to the military industrial complex is crazy.
Trump als Fixer am Platzspitz
Don't make deals with a America government
lack of self respect. back 500 year ago even today. it is not trumps fault. blame them.
These are not African Leaders, these are hungry leaders from 5 selected African Countries. They dont lead or represent Africa, they lead and represent their individual countries.
This meeting is telling of the USA's slump in influence in Africa. These are countries with minimal impact in the continent.
China has the ear and heart of the bigger players.
The U.S. has always been the stingiest of any wealthy country when it comes to foreign aid and now it is about to get even more tightfisted. We spend less as a % of our GDP than any other country. Extreme poverty breeds conflict, instability, and can lead to the radicalization of military age young men because they have no hope of a future.
Trump wants to exploit them, simple. Crazy how easy it is. It's not like African leaders can put up a fight.
😂😂😂😂😂
ask him on 2 different days and get 2 different answers.
Africans offer what? engineers, docteurs, teachers?
This regime on their first go round killed almost one million people due to mis and disinformation! How many people will be lost this time?
These African Presidents are sellouts.
We have minerals,so?
It was just a photo op.
Their gold Their diamonds and all of the other natural resources
Boycott American 🇺🇸 from Netherlands 🇳🇱
Pure coercion!
😂😂😂😂😂
Looking at the body language of Trump’s counterparts, I was simply trying to understand the effect inside a conscious mind which is forced to listen blatant lie after lie from the ‘so called’ most powerful human on earth…
Looks like Chinese will be the next official language in these parts of Africa.
The Big Orange Baby just kicked out all the Central American farm workers. He's resetting the laws back to the 1800s. He claimed the Emancipation Proclamation wasn't legal. What do you think he REALLY wants to get from Arica? Oh, Lordy….
African, don't you guys 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Africa should work with the EU to secure a rare earths agreement…. Maybe also add Japan or Korea into the mix as well…. forget the US.
It was a naive African countries to support CHIna/BRIGs and expect Trump to provide aid with nothing in return.
African leaders should not get played again this time
5 leaders at once says it all
DO NOT YIELD AFRICA
China is making great inroads into Africa by treating them as parters, rather than natural resources to be exploited.
I like this brilliance improvement
Canada 🇨🇦 is our 51st state 💪🏻🦅🇺🇸
Trump is fighting China in Africa.. simple.
