THE U.S. CHOSE TO TRAIL BEHIND RUSSIA, CHINA AND JAPAN IN AFRICA.

First : Obama messed things up and failed when he came to a traditionally rooted continent like AFRICA and told Africans to tolerate homosexuality.
Worse he was acting like a lecturer in front of a group of students . He couldn't understand he was in another land, not in Harlem, not in Baltimore, not inAtlanta, not in San Francisco. This a was a shock to Africans, and a blatant proof that showed many Americans misjudge Africans.

2nd : Then Trump came in, running his racist mouth saying Africans refuse to stay in their mud houses. Africa is a sh *** t hole .

During that time, Russian, Japanese, Chinese and Turkish were building roads, bridges, and not making asking Africans to change traditional values.

The U.S. welcomes leaders from Africa, where China and Russia are making inroads

LAGOS, Nigeria — Nearly 50 African leaders and delegates have arrived in Washington this week for a key summit hosted by President Biden. It is the centerpiece of a major effort to reset and improve U.S. ties with African countries, whose relations with China and increasingly Russia have drawn scrutiny.
Over the last decade, the continent's geopolitical profile has grown to be seen as a vital region, with the fastest growing population in the world. A quarter of the Earth's projected 9.5 billion people will be in Africa, up from 10% of the global population in 1950.
On Monday ahead of the summit, the White House announced plans to commit $55 billion in economic, security and health investment in Africa over the next three years, as well as naming a new special envoy to focus on these issues.
Here are some keys to understanding the issues at play in the gathering.
Why is the summit important?
While China, Russia, the European Union, Japan and Turkey have held many similar gatherings with African diplomats, business people and civil groups, this is only the second such summit the U.S. is hosting in the last eight years. The meeting was inaugurated in 2014 under President Barack Obama. It is also not clear when the next one will be.

African diplomats have described U.S. policy and engagement on the continent in recent years as drifting as relations under the last administration were strained. Former President Donald Trump infamously referred to the continent and Haiti as "shithole countries."

The then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was seen by some African diplomats as being more concerned with warning against investments and loans from China, which has poured $700 billion in infrastructure loans across the continent, than engaging with African policymakers on shared aims.
What has changed in U.S.-Africa relations this year?

There's been a concerted pivot in tone from U.S. diplomats this year, led by Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

The US is never interested in the development. They are only armchair critics who talk trash about Africa whenever they smell the opportunity

An interesting interview of a former African Union ambassador to the United states.
She nailed it.
