The administration of US President Donald Trump is not intended to hold a summit of the US-Africa summit in September, presumably due to the low priority in this sphere in the activities of this sphere. This was reported by Jeune Afrique magazine, citing the sources of the White House and the US Congress.
According to the publication, the United States leadership no longer considers it possible to hold a summit, which should have taken place during the UN General Assembly session.
The White House has said that officials will not have enough time to host several dozen African heads in such a short period of time. Therefore, the summit may be delayed until March or April next year.
It will most likely take place in Washington, not in New York. According to the publication, the delay in the summit may cause a negative reaction from African states that can consider the decision of the US administration to be a sign of disrespect.
