I get it, we really do need to get a hold of our debt. I just don't think Trump and his administration are going about it correctly. This really needed to be a bi-partisan process. Also, shutting embassies throughout Africa (and the rest of the world) is extremely short-sighted.

"Many people came from the Congo. I don't know what that is" - Cheeto

Ask somebody "what and where that is" ...

Cotdamn .... maybe find out ....

The funny part about this is some countries would welcome the U.S. throwing up the deuces ... so I'm conflicted myself. I guess their saving money by moving the main offices for these countries to nearby countries, so it's not the worse thing ever, it's really just cutting cost on maintaining properties.

However, leaving Africa would probably be not wise, even if you just set up a few. Leaving the whole continent of 1.3 billion would be disrespectful.....even if you want African countries to go their own way, not even recognizing a whole continent is wild.

Russia and China will fill the vacuum. This will cut off access to deals/negotiation for crucial resources such as lithium, cobalt, gold and platinum and further isolate the US when the US should be engaging Africa more than ever.

Characteristically dumb move that will be great for China. But in the end I think Africa will be fine. In fact, this might drive more independence and self sufficiency in African economies.

No, the US is building the Lobito Corridor thru DRC, Zambia and Angola.

It was the last official travel by Biden and Trump did not touch that.

We were running $2 Trillion deficits at full employment. This year we will be paying almost $1 Trillion in interest. This isn't really sustainable.
I believe Congress controls the federal budget, so I don't agree with how and what Trump is cutting, and we should also roll back those tax cuts (especially for the wealthy).

Wendell Pierce mentioned the EU China and Russia…

But didn’t mention the worst imperialist country in Africa for a decade the United Arab Emirates who are currently funding genocide in Sudan by supporting the Rapid Support Forces!!!



They also funded Khalifa Haftar in Libya have bases in Puntland Somalia, field clinics in Chad and South Sudan and just trying to extend their sphere of influence in Africa and the Middle East to everyone’s detriment.
