An international diplomatic expert says the United States no longer considers Africa a key partner. Adam Zig Na Abdullai made these comments after America announced travel restrictions affecting Ghana and other African nations. He spoke on Happy 98.9FM's Morning Show about the changing relationship. The diplomat believes President Donald Trump's policies focus mainly on American interests. African partnerships have become less important under the current administration.
Trump's team has introduced several measures that hurt ties with African countries. Immigration orders have become stricter and tariffs have increased. Foreign aid programs face major cuts across the continent. Business leader Elon Musk helped reduce USAID funding significantly. These actions show America's shift away from African cooperation.
The travel ban had warning signs months earlier. Over 3,000 Ghanaians were marked for deportation from America in January 2025. Parliament member Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa had warned about these deportation plans. Abdullai believes the deportation list predicted the travel restrictions. The current ban simply carries out policies already planned.
