Biden struggled to match this enthusiasm with substantial deals and partnerships, Mr Moore says, but that does not mean his Africa strategy was fruitless. During his previous administration, Trump said the scheme would not be renewed when it expires in 2025. In 2018 the Trump administration unveiled Prosper Africa - an initiative that assists US companies wanting to invest in Africa - and the Development Finance Corporation (DFC), which funds development projects in Africa and around the world. In his first term, Trump introduced measures that curbed immigration from several African countries, including Nigeria, Eritrea, Sudan and Tanzania. "I'm really doubtful that the Trump administration is going to care more about what's happening in Sudan than, say, the Biden administration did."
