Aid cuts, but trade boost: How Trump presidency could affectAfrican nations' relationship with US
FirstpostTrump’s foreign policy reputation suggests a possible pivot to transactional, rather than partnership-based, approaches to Africa. In a sign of what could be renewed relations under Trump’s administration, Uganda’s parliamentary speaker, Anitah Among, declared that “the sanctions are gone,” exuding optimism about relaxed US scrutiny on Uganda’s human rights record. However, while some African leaders view Trump’s return as an opportunity for eased relations, analysts caution that the new term could bring challenges, including potential cuts in US aid to the continent, Al Jazeera reported. With Trump’s skepticism toward climate policy, Africa’s access to international climate funds could dwindle, limiting resources to address critical issues like water scarcity and food security. Analysts say Trump’s detachment from Africa could inadvertently encourage the continent to strengthen intra-African trade and partnerships with nations in Asia and the Middle East.
