For better or for worse, the Trump administration's policy towards Africa is to completely withdraw from it: closing embassies, withdrawing any military presence there, withdrawing foreign aid, barring immigration, and discouraging trade with new tariffs. It isn't even seriously criticizing human rights violations there.
China is filling the vacuum that the U.S. departure is creating on all fronts.
I could source every point in this post from news stories. But I don't have the time for it right now (it might take a couple of hours), so this time, as an exception to my usual habit, I'm going to have to have you trust me that the points I'm making have solid backup that could be found and linked.
