Join the Carnegie Africa Program for the public launch of the new compendium: Priorities for the New U.S. Administration and Congress on Strengthening Economic Relations with Africa. During this live event, Carnegie Africa Program scholars will sit for two panel discussions on the key findings from the compendium that have the potential to reinvigorate U.S. engagement with African nations. 

The incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump has an opportunity to boldly reimagine the U.S. economic relationship with Africa in dynamic ways that advance U.S. strategic interests while being grounded in Africa’s current realities. This compendium identifies high impact areas that could transform U.S. engagement in Africa and offers actionable recommendations that could inform implementation.

To better prepare for the forthcoming changes, we have invited officials from the previous Trump administration to offer their insight and suggestions on the future of U.S. policy towards Africa. Join the Carnegie Africa Program as we bring together officials who had served during the first Trump administration to offer initial insights into the incoming administration’s approach to Africa. 

To modernize the U.S.-Africa relationship, U.S. diplomatic and development efforts should prioritize AI-powered technologies and the broader digital transformation.
