U.S. government has published last Monday a report revealing its new security strategy. This document shows the main orientations of the U.S. policy in terms of security and economy.

According to the report, the USA must reposition itself in Africa not to lose ground to the “Chinese threat”.

“China is expanding its economic and military presence in Africa, growing from a small investor in the continent two decades ago into Africa’s largest trading partner today,” the strategy presented by President Trump states.

In this framework (repositioning itself in Africa), Uncle Sam will focus on three key sectors. In regards to politics, the U.S. government plans to boost cooperation with African political actors in order to end conflicts. In regards to economy, the Trump administration wishes to build new partnerships with African countries in order to increase trade and investments. Regarding the military and security aspects, the White House wishes to increase US’ contribution in the fight against terrorism and human trafficking across the continent.
