t is incumbent upon the African Union and individual African governments to push back on Trump’s xenophobic immigrant policies or risk further marginalising undocumented Africans in the USA.
For Trump to successfully advance his ‘America First’ policy on the continent, he must come to terms with the reality that Washington is not the only game in town.
Donald Trump is a transactional leader whose foreign policy centres on an American First premise. In this regard, Africa needs to align its foreign policy strategy in a manner that benefits from bandwagoning with the United States.
This is a matter that requires immediate attention; otherwise, the long list of Africans imprisoned in US jails and denied their due process will continue to rise.
Kenya’s non-NATO status will divide African countries between those in the American orbit and those outside it.
