“Tremendous Potential” Trump’s Africa U-Turn | Firstpost Africa | N18G

US President Donald Trump has signalled a big shift in his administration's Africa policy, moving from past derogatory rhetoric to a stance of economic praise. Speaking at the Future Investment Initiative in Miami,  Trump lauded the continent’s "tremendous potential," specifically highlighting its vast mineral wealth. His latest statement stands in stark contrast to the derogatory comments he made on African nations in 2018, which he even confirmed during a Pennsylvania rally in late 2025. The pivot is driven by an intensifying global race for critical minerals—such as cobalt and lithium. To compete with China, Russia, and the Gulf states, the Trump administration is aggressively pursuing "minerals-for-security" deals in nations like the DRC and Rwanda.
