Outlining an Africa Strategy for the Incoming Trump Administration
With a presidential inauguration corner comes a potential point of inflection in U.S.-Africa relations. While many of President-elect Trump’s foreign policy priorities have become clear, where he stands on fostering strong relations with African countries is still to be seen.
With the goal of helping the incoming administration build a strong partnership with Africa, the Carnegie Africa Program recently published a new volume of research and recommendations, “Priorities for the New U.S. Administration & Congress in Strengthening the U.S. Economic Relationship with Africa.” Compiled by program director Zainab Usman, Ph.D. , the compendium features research from Carnegie Africa Program experts, identifying high-impact areas for collaboration like trade, foreign investment, security, and energy security.
Check out the full publication and stay tuned for more from the Carnegie Africa Program.

4dMany people see oil and gas as bigger environmental problem, but could be oil and gas one of the best sources/solutions for President #Trump to reduce climate problems with the help of a #new #industry designed/created in #USA and their oil industry (possibly international cooperation?) ? Is there a need for a new (self-sufficient) Tool that can improve/mitigate climate/temperature in dry and hot areas using rain clouds that form at any time and at long intervals over --- fair weather #waterspouts --- within a radius of 50-500 square kilometers? https://bit.ly/397ml9w Many different designs/methods are possible, but with a few modifications, could be one of the simplest solutions to use a decommissioned LNG supertanker (in a closed cistern it is more cost effective to raise the water temperature above 27°C...) to create artificial waterspouts? Would a mobile platform/supertanker be able to direct tornadoes in the desired direction of land even on windless days? If this project enables artificial #irrigation in Africa, is it an #advantage to know in advance for future investments in Africa which agricultural lands will gain much more #value ...?
