Trump schedules upcoming Africa summit

President Trump’s upcoming summit with African leaders in New York marks a significant shift in his engagement with the continent, signaling a move from aid dependency toward economic partnership. On The Final 5, foreign affairs analyst Farxaan Jeyte told host Jim Lokay that this business-oriented approach could boost U.S. influence in Africa, countering China’s long-standing economic presence. He also contrasted Trump’s strategy with President Biden’s more aid-focused policies, suggesting this summit could redefine U.S.-Africa relations.
