Résumé:
This study provides an account of the general US foreign policy, along with an outline of its
overall strategy towards Africa; including its economic, humanistic and national security
aspects. It also compares US-Africa relations under both the Obama and Trump
Administrations in order to deduce whether the policy was affected by administrational
change or continued to be the same. Furthermore, the study looks at internal developments as
well as new emerging foreign powers in the studied period and examines how this affects US
foreign policy in the region. This study finds that there is an observable pattern of crossadministration
continuity concerning the United States’ foreign policy towards Africa.
