Under both the Trump and Biden

Under both the Trump and Biden administrations, U.S. strategy in Africa has drifted. The numbers tell the story: USAID’s budget authority dropped from $23.2 billion in FY2016 to $19.3 billion by FY2022. Critical programs in governance and agriculture have seen reductions of nearly 25% in the past five years. Field offices in states like South Sudan and Burkina Faso have been shuttered. In the meantime, the Peace Corps has yet to return to pre-pandemic levels, while PEPFAR — once the crown jewel of bipartisan goodwill — faces proposed cuts exceeding $1 billion. หนังใหม่2025
