Trumps impact on Africa

Donald Trump's inauguration has raised global concerns, notably impacting Africa. His speech omitted direct references to African nations, yet his policies could profoundly affect key countries. Possible reductions in Middle East and Ukraine tensions could stabilize Nigeria, diminishing extremist influence, and fostering US-Egypt counter-terrorism cooperation. However, US-Panama relations may sour, affecting Nigeria and South Africa's supply chains amid trade tensions.

Trump’s halting of US greenhouse gas reduction efforts might spike oil production, impacting oil-dependent economies like Nigeria, Angola, and Ghana. His Paris Agreement withdrawal poses severe risks for African nations facing climate change. Furthermore, exiting the WHO could disrupt critical health programs, endangering millions. Meanwhile, China's commitment to green energy promises a brighter future for Africa's renewable energy targets.
