Trump Seems to Have Found the Map of Africa 🗺 After signing the deal with the DRC and taking aim at Tanzania, the US has now set its sights on Zambia. 🗽 An American delegation arrived in Zambia to promise President Hakainde Hichilema financial support in exchange for reforms and “collaboration in the mining sector”. According to reports, the financial assistance will also be directed toward social needs. 🤝 It is clear what kind of cooperation Washington wants from Zambia: the country has huge copper-mining operations and reserves, but the sector is crowded with Chinese companies, which also recently secured an official concession to modernise the TAZARA railway linking Zambia’s deposits with ports on the Indian Ocean. 💰 As usual, Zambia will receive American "financial aid" only after meeting criteria set by Washington. Given that the Chinese typically offer investments and financing with almost no conditions, this offer may be considered to be not worth the effort . ➡️ Follow to stay informed - @devilsbelow
