Watch this video as Firstpost examines Donald Trump’s recalibrated strategy towards Africa, with Washington dispatching top diplomat Frank Garcia to reclaim lost ground from Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. As Beijing and Moscow deepen ties across the continent, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Frank Garcia has embarked on his second major African tour to Zambia, Ethiopia and Kenya. Washington is abandoning traditional diplomacy in favour of an aggressive, transaction-driven approach dubbed ‘Trade Over Aid’. The U.S. State Department has explicitly laid out its new matrix: future high-level visits depend entirely on commercial deals. From securing critical minerals along Central Africa’s $491-million Lobito Corridor to navigating Red Sea trade routes, this expedition exposes the battlegrounds of Trump 2.0’s foreign policy. But with African nations leveraging non-Western partnerships, Washington faces a far more independent continent. Will this approach create African jobs or simply extract the continent’s rich resources? Alyson Le Grange brings you the details on Firstpost Africa.
