Trump plans to cut money for the US to work with other countries. America might give less help to African nations like The Gambia. They want to lower spending from $52 billion to $28 billion next year. This will hurt places that need help. The Gambia has tried hard these past eight years to be a good partner.
A new system divides African countries into three groups based on travel rules. Red means total ban for Libya, Somalia, and Sudan. Orange means tough limits for Eritrea, Sierra Leone, and South Sudan. Yellow means warning status for The Gambia, with Angola, Benin, Chad, Malawi, and others. The reasons seem unclear since President Barrow improved things.
The Foreign Ministry says nothing about this problem. People wonder why no one explains what happened. Dr Tangara should speak up because he knows foreign affairs well. This seems unfair because The Gambia did what Western countries asked - rejoined international groups, supported peace, and increased freedom at home.
America might close its embassy in Banjul. This would make life hard for Gambians who need visas or documents. They would have to travel far for basic services. The government must talk about this issue soon. People deserve to know why relations with America became bad.
