As the African Union prepares for its 39th meeting in Addis Ababa, the physical absence of US President Donald Trump is expected to be overshadowed by his “America First” agenda. A radical shift in US policy—moving from humanitarian aid to a strict trade-and-investment model—has left many African nations navigating a volatile economic landscape. Washington’s 2025 National Security Strategy highlighted this pivot, dedicating only a fleeting mention to the continent while prioritising select partnerships. Tensions have been further stoked by reciprocal tariffs reaching up to 30% and a massive visa processing suspension affecting nearly half of the AU’s member states. In response, nations like Mali and Burkina Faso have issued “tit-for-tat” travel bans, while others are increasingly turning toward Russia, China, and Gulf partners to diversify their strategic alliances.

Aid to trade😂
The difference is that a lion leads by sheep, and a sheep leads by lion. Rubish
We don't need America anymore Africa for Africans
Abiy ahmed is leading Ethiopia to a total collapse. High inflictions, ethnic and religious tensions untold ongoing civil war. Moreover, allowing access to the UAE to attack Sudan via Ethiopia. Yes Addis has a small position of the city with shinning lights but few blocks away you’ll see starvation and poverty.
UAE built Addis while the USA built that stupid dams. Yugoslavia is loading
Heshima Yako sana Mzee wetu. Yes it's very true we don't have to go to America we Africa can trade among ourselves and mutual honest partners. Africa doesn't need america america needs Africa.
America 1st is the right approach for someone leading America , the problem is Trump is not doing America 1st, we all know that !
We dont want epstein files advocate in Africa (Trump)
If these so call African leaders don't get this right, they will be like South America, under seige.
DTrumpf will coward them down and continue bullying exploiting them like children. 🤔🙄
African countries must respect it's constitution

Not worlds second, It’s the largest because the Middle East is North East Africa.
❤❤❤❤❤
Your doomed trump. Don't dare blacks
This man is crazy
Wanna hear something weird? Trump’s administration just paid multi million dollars to around 10 African nations to provide their DNA 🧬. I pray to God Africans rescind the agreement & not supply our DNA. USA will probably use it against Africans as biological weapons
I love what trump is doing to Africa. He is helping us to wake up
Europe's economy is on the verge of collapse. America's economy is slowing and dependent on imports tarrif war showed us. Africa's economy is on the rise. Our leaders should be discussing regional partnerships and raw materials export bans
Africa will come together when all dictators are gone.
Brics is not good for our country because those countries don't believe in human rights.They are dictators,they don't care about the people they lead.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
African leader and African can you respect yourself
Develop Africa stopped developing people who don't welcome u
