Trump is preparing an executive order to end ALL African activity and diplomacy in the State Department, and close ALL embassies on the continent.

You planning them vacations for the summer and get in some trouble overseas
Embassies just closing in Africa is just the tip of the iceberg
American isolationism is coming and ain’t nowhere to run nikkas

A lot of African Americans are thinking of visiting and moving to Africa. It might have something to do with that also. Keeping people that can help out

How does this affect us regular 9 to 5 working brehs ?

:jbhmm:


I'll keep it simple. More expensive electronics. Hell, I think Africa produces the most vanilla extracts. I'm sure there's a hell of a lot more but that's the most think of off the top of my head.


US embassies help US businesses navigate local trade laws and also aid in finding local trade partners.

Most of the Cocoa comes from Africa.

What’s worrisome here isn’t just that you’re ignorant. Its that you’re so CONFIDENT in being ignorant

This isn’t a corporation pulling out of Africa, it’s the State Department. This ain’t got shyt to do with “products” :what:

It’s humanitarian aide and relief. It literally saves lives. And not just out the good of our hearts, of course the US always works for its own interest. But that interest is not monetary, it’s preventative. Bc for every instance of widespread famine and corruption it increases a void for criminality and rogue states and the likelyhood of world terror or in this case being used by others for world terror. It’s a drop in the bucket to stop problems before they become problems
I had to get some blood work done in Lagos because I havent been feeling great and took the opportunity to ask the lab technician how things have been going since USAID slashed funding.

The look on his face was of horror. He said people are staying in their homes and are outright dying. The amount of poor people who used to line up for free drugs at hospital that they now cant afford is leading to an uncountable amount of deaths. I then explained to him at how racist Congressman Scott Perry in the US fed anti-USAID propaganda saying funding aided Boko Haram to justify its end and that his true goal was to make sure it ended because he knows the program WORKED in saving African lives. Yet the lab technician rightfully stated that Nigeria has the natural resources here to make up for the end of USAID funding but our politicians simply do not care.

:francis: Trump is like an overprotective dad that's keeping the kids from playing with the outside world. They have it all, why would you want to get on the porch or matter of fact play in the streets with them outsiders, you have everything in the house DAMMIT

The food supply consists of can goods and same ole same ole. The television is old. Clothes are outdated and soiled because the dad never got out of the house to get detergent. Same scrub and rinse process. The outside world progress, while the inside of the house and the surrounding foundation decays away. The child looks at the barred up window and realizes that this is not a dream, but a nightmare.

It may not hit you yet because the house is good for what it is, but eventually it will when you want to venture off the porch if you get my drift :francis:

This is horrific for America on the world stage. The US relinquishing control of whatever influence we have in Africa pretty much lets China have free reign over the development and resource extraction industries in Africa.

Even if the tide turns and a Democrat is elected in 2028, we're going to be 4 years behind China, in which case, they'll likely be hunkered down in the more resource-rich areas by then.

If China manages to acquire worldwide soft power in the entertainment or fashion industries, America is fúcked.

AND the dollar is currently crashing. We'll likely be in a severe recession by June at this rate.
Get dafuk outa here , they'll save billions & Africa will have less terrorist
