Trump Has Never Been To Africa As President; Is It Something He Plans To Do In The Future?

Donald Trump has never been to Africa, according to either African or US government records, and if someone dislikes Africa, it may be shown in their words just as much as in their behavior. Does the 47th president share his father's perspective on Black people? Black Americans were never allowed to rent his father's apartment. Trump continues to disparage a continent whose resources sustain the economies of both Europe and America and create jobs, despite having many black celebrities as friends.

There are pictures of his sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., with a leopard and other large game kills in the past, but there isn’t any of Donald Trump’s travel to an African nation during his first four years as president. Now that he is back in the White House as the 47th president of the United States, the question is whether he intends to travel to the Black Continent, a place the president-elect has never been to and has publicly disparaged and accused its leaders of being corrupt.

No African leader, in my opinion, will ask Trump to come to his nation; if Trump wants to travel to any African nation, it should be in his best interest to do so. Instead of traveling to Africa during his first four years as the 45th president of the United States, Trump sent his wife, Melania Trump, on solitary international trips to Egypt, Malawi, Kenya, and Ghana. As First Lady, Melania successfully arranged this trip on her husband's behalf, but is she willing to do it again for her husband as the 47^th president?

Trump may be a little ignorant of Africa because he has never visited the continent. He made an effort to win over certain African leaders at the UN General Assembly, even though he was aware that they were not interested in him. In addition to praising healthcare advancements in a nonexistent nation, Trump told the African leaders that "Africa has tremendous business potential and claimed that many of his friends are traveling to your countries in an attempt to get wealthy.”

He commended "Nambia," a former German colony that is not a country, for having a health system that is becoming more self-sufficient. He reportedly meant to mention Namibia, whose president, Hage Geingob, also spoke at the gathering, according to a White House transcript. During his speech, Donald Trump made two references to Namibia rather than using the word itself. Many people throughout the world, including the leaders in attendance, were surprised to hear the call for an imaginary African nation.

"It is a great privilege for me to host this lunch, and the leaders of Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Nambia, Nigeria, Senegal, Uganda, and South Africa are joining me,” he stated. "It has tremendous business potential and represents huge amounts of different markets," Mr. Trump later remarked, congratulating the nine leaders on their efforts to draw in US companies and additionally turning Africa into a destination that American businesses both need and desire to visit.

With Trump's decision to cut off financing for an organization that has been saving lives all over the world, the future of USAID, the U.S. Agency for International Development, is now in doubt. "The radical left is going crazy over USAID, and they can't do anything about it because the way the money has been spent, so much of it fraudulently, is completely unexplained," Trump said. “The amount of corruption has never been this high. Shut it down,” he further stressed.”

Donald Trump is unpredictable, and his actions and statements consistently conflict with those of other American leaders. Perhaps it's too soon to tell what he intends to do in Africa or whether he plans to go there at all. Nonetheless, his absence of travel to Africa won't be a troubling problem or have an impact on the continent's economy. Africa is gradually dismantling the shackles of colonialism to become self-sufficient, and it will not take long; the continent will eventually become less reliant on foreign assistance.
