The perspectives of U.S. – Africa Relations under the Second Trump Administration

As the global political landscape continues to shift, the role of Africa in U.S. foreign policy remains a topic of critical importance. This event will explore the potential trajectory of U.S.-Africa relations under the second Trump administration.

From economic partnerships and trade to security collaboration, counterterrorism, and the evolving influence of China and Russia on the continent, we will analyze the strategic priorities and policy directions that may define the next phase of U.S. engagement in Africa.

The discussion will feature insights into international relations, African studies, and U.S. foreign policy. Together, we will assess the implications for African nations, regional institutions, and global partnerships, providing a forward-looking perspective on how these dynamics could shape Africa's future and its relationships with the United States. Join us for a lively and thought-provoking conversation that seeks to shed light on the potential opportunities and challenges of this critical geopolitical relationship.
