Trump Challenges Xi's Grip Over Africa's Minerals By Securing Trade Routes | Firstpost Africa | N18G

A high-stakes geopolitical tug-of-war is unfolding as Donald Trump and Xi Jinping deploy clashing strategies to secure the world's most vital resources. While China is tightening its grip over Africa's mineral wealth, Washington is pivoting to a maritime 'chokehold' strategy. By leveraging naval presence in the Strait of Hormuz and seeking overflight rights over the Strait of Malacca, the US is moving to control the shipping lanes that serve as China’s economic arteries. As Beijing weaponises export controls on critical minerals like gallium and graphite, the Trump administration is betting on maritime security to neutralise China's resource dominance in Africa.
