Trump’s new Africa strategy takes sharp aim at China, Russia 0 SHARES Share it! Critics are skeptical because it has taken nearly two years into Trump’s presidency to announce the Africa strategy, and the president is well known for his disparaging remarks about the continent that is home to 1.2 billion people. Africa’s population is set to double by 2050, he said, a “demographic tsunami.”Any renewed U.S. effort to counter China in Africa, however, comes years late. “The United States will no longer provide indiscriminate assistance across the entire continent,” Bolton said. “The United States scores few points by talking down to African counterparts about the perils of Chinese engagement,” he said.
