President Trump will meet with African leaders at the White House on Wednesday, about a week after he announced the peace deal with Rwanda and the Congo in the Oval Office.
During the first term of President Trump, he never traveled to Africa, and he referred to Africa and some Caribbean nations as “shit holes.” However, in the first six months of this second Trump administration, there have been conversations with African leaders, including South Africa’s president, where Trump showed a video from upheaval in the Congo, saying it depicted an uprising against white Afrikaners in South Africa.
Greg Meeks, a Democratic New York congressman and ranking Democrat member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, explains the importance of the continent of Africa, particularly sub-Saharan Africa.
