Trump hosts West African leaders to secure critical minerals, counter China–Russia influence

President Trump hosted five West African leaders in Washington to deepen trade ties and secure access to critical minerals. The summit marks a shift in US Africa strategy, emphasising economic partnerships over aid to compete with China and Russia's growing regional influence. read more US President Donald Trump, flanked by US Senior Advisor for Africa Massad Boulos (L) and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller (2R), participates in a multilateral lunch with visiting African Leaders in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on July 9, 2025. Image- AFP In what is being called a strategic move by the US, President Donald Trump welcomed five West African leaders to the White House on Wednesday, aiming to strengthen trade ties and gain access to the region's untapped trove of critical minerals. The summit, which included the presidents of Senegal, Liberia, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania and Gabon, reflects Washington's growing urgency to offer economic partnerships in Africa as a counterweight to China and Russia's deepening influence on the continent. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump's administration is working to deepen economic links with these resource-rich nations even as it scales back foreign aid across the continent and enforces a 10 percent import tariff. The strategy reflects a growing push by Washington to counter the growing influence of China and Russia in Africa's economic and geopolitical arena. The shift has been shaped in part by Massad Boulos, Trump's senior advisor on African affairs and father-in-law to one of the president's daughters. Boulos played a key role in negotiating a recent peace deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo — a move seen as opening the door to US investment in Congo's valuable minerals sector. While the West African nations represented at the summit are relatively small in economic output, they are rich in essential natural resources such as manganese, bauxite, and copper. These reserves offer a new avenue for American businesses to engage in mining and infrastructure development in territories where China has yet to fully dominate. 'We're working tirelessly to forge new economic opportunities involving both the United States and many African nations,' Trump told the assembled leaders and reporters ahead of the meeting. 'There's great economic potential in Africa, like few other places, in many ways." He gushed about the continent's 'vibrant places, very valuable lands, great minerals, great oil deposits' – and was rewarded with personal praise in return as each leader offered their approval when asked by an African media outlet if Trump should win a Nobel Peace Prize. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The talks – held over a lunch in the State Dining Room – came with Washington seeking to ensure a stable supply of critical minerals. All five of the countries invited enjoy rich natural resources, including manganese – a key mineral in the production of stainless steel and batteries – iron ore, gold, diamonds, lithium and cobalt. But overshadowing the talks will be radical steps by Trump and his officials to recalibrate US relations with African nations. Earlier this month, the administration shuttered the US Agency for International Development (USAID), and said it was moving away from a 'charity based-model' to focus instead on trade-based partnerships. West Africa is expected to be among the regions hardest hit by the aid cuts, which are likely to lead to more than 14 million additional deaths globally by 2030, according to a study published in the Lancet medical journal. Drug trafficking and immigration US financial help played a crucial role in rebuilding Liberia after its civil wars, and it was still receiving an annual $160 million – about three percent of its GDP – as recently as last year. 'Liberia is a long time friend of the United States, and we believe in your policy of making America great again,' President Joseph Boakai told Trump. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'And we also go a long way with you and your in your diplomacy that has to do with economic development and commercial friendship." US arch-rival China has made substantial investments in several of the nations attending, with Gabon providing 22 percent of the manganese it uses in batteries. Russia has meanwhile supported the nascent Alliance of Sahel States, which shares borders with several of the countries at Wednesday's lunch. Security is expected to loom large at the meeting, with international drug trafficking and immigration top concerns for Washington. West Africa's Sahel countries have been dogged by attacks from terrorist groups, while a series of coups have deepened political instability. Entries from the region make up a significant portion of the Black immigrant population in the United States, which rose by almost a quarter between 2012 and 2022, reaching 4.3 million individuals. Guinea-Bissau – a transit zone for cocaine shipments from Latin America to Europe and beyond – has struggled to contain drug trafficking. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Guinea-Bissau is a peaceful country, and we are a small country. But we are a great state – not a great state like the United States, but we're a great country as well,' said the country's President Umaro Sissoco Embalo. A potential US travel ban impacting Gabon, Liberia, Mauritania, and Senegal was reported in June, as part of a larger list of 36 countries facing scrutiny by the Trump administration.

Linda Yaccarino shares post on free speech after quitting Elon Musk's X: ‘The fight continues'

Former X CEO Linda Yaccarino took to the social media platform to reshare a post praising her for her fight for free speech, hours after she stepped down as the top executive at the Elon Musk-owned company. Linda Yaccarino stepped down as X CEO on Wednesday(AFP) Many were surprised by Yaccarino's exit. The former advertising executive decided to part ways with Musk after two years at the helm of the social media platform that the world's richest man purchased in 2022. This brought about sweeping changes, including changing its name from Twitter to X. Mike Benz, a former official with the US Department of State, praised Linda for fighting for free speech during the 'most acute crisis moment in world history' 'She stepped up for all of us in the face of what seemed like insurmountable pressure from governments, advertisers, boycotters, banking institutions, and astroturfed lynch mobs. Thank Linda for her service and excited for her next chapter!' he said. Reacting to the post, the former CEO wrote, ' The fight continues.' Linda Yaccarino quits Initially taking over as CEO himself, Musk had paved the way for Yaccarino to take over after deciding to step down. 'After two incredible years, I've decided to step down as CEO of X. When Elon Musk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company. I'm immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App,' she wrote in a long post on X, announcing her departure. Musk's reaction to the resignation was brief. 'Thank you for your contributions,' he replied to her post. While Yaccarino has not revealed her next move, her exit comes as X is preparing for its next phase.

Trump targets seven more countries with tariffs as US trade pressure mounts

The letters, addressed to the leaders of the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Brunei, Algeria, Libya, Iraq, and Moldova, outline import duties ranging from 20% to 30%, set to take effect on August 1 read more US President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued a new round of tariff notices to seven additional countries, escalating his administration's push to secure a wave of bilateral trade deals. According to an AFP report, the letters, addressed to the leaders of the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Brunei, Algeria, Libya, Iraq, and Moldova, outline import duties ranging from 20% to 30%, set to take effect on August 1. The latest notices follow a similar batch released earlier this week and mark a continuation of Trump's strategy of pressuring trading partners through unilateral tariff threats. While some countries saw adjusted rates from previous announcements, most remained within the range of earlier proposals. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Sri Lanka's tariff, for instance, has been lowered to 30% from the 44% announced in April. Iraq's rate was also reduced to 30% from 39%. In contrast, the Philippines saw an increase to 20%, up from the earlier 17%. Back in April, Trump imposed a 10% baseline tariff on nearly all US trading partners but withheld harsher rates for dozens of nations, pending further negotiations. These higher rates were initially scheduled to take effect on July 8 but have now been delayed until August 1, giving countries time to respond or adjust. The letters warn that duties may be increased further if countries retaliate or fail to meet U.S. expectations. Trump defended the levies on Wednesday, calling them a matter of 'common sense' and citing trade imbalances as justification. At a public event, Trump said additional letters, including one for Brazil, which has not yet been targeted, would be released later in the day. The language of the new communications mirrored that of previous letters, describing US trade relationships as 'far from reciprocal' and encouraging nations to relocate manufacturing to the United States to avoid penalties. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD So far, over 20 countries—including close allies like Japan and South Korea, as well as Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Thailand—have received formal tariff warnings from Washington. EU deal in 'coming days'? Analysts have noted that Asian countries have been a key target so far. But all eyes are on the state of negotiations with major partners who have yet to receive such letters, including the European Union. For now, the Trump administration is under pressure to unveil more trade pacts. So far, Washington has only reached agreements with Britain and Vietnam, alongside a deal to temporarily lower tit-for-tat levies with China. Trump on Tuesday said that his government was 'probably two days off' from sending the EU a letter with an updated tariff rate for the bloc. 'They're very tough, but now they're being very nice to us,' he added at a cabinet meeting. An EU spokesman said Wednesday that the bloc wants to strike a deal with the United States 'in the coming days,' and has shown readiness to reach an agreement in principle. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD EU diplomats say the European Commission, in charge of trade policy for the 27-country bloc, could continue talks until August 1. The EU expects Trump to keep a 10 percent baseline tariff on its goods, with exemptions for critical sectors such as airplanes, spirits and cosmetics, diplomats told AFP this week. Legal challenges to Trump's sweeping tariffs are continuing to work their way through the US court system. Apart from tariffs targeting goods from different countries, Trump has also rolled out sector-specific duties on steel, aluminum and autos since returning to the White House in January. On Tuesday, Trump said levies were incoming on copper and pharmaceuticals. The planned rate for copper is 50 percent, he added, while pharmaceutical products face a levy as high as 200 percent – but manufacturers would be given time to relocate operations.
