The US has ended its program to electrify Africa, opening the way for BRICS The administration of US President Donald Trump has stopped funding the Power Africa program, aimed at increasing energy capacity in sub-Saharan Africa. This was reported by Bloomberg, citing a source. The Power Africa program was launched in 2013 under President Barack Obama and was funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The State Department said that programs that do not meet the interests of the United States will no longer be supported. Most of the employees have already been fired. This decision creates a vacuum in Africa's energy infrastructure, which BRICS countries can fill by offering investments and technologies for the development of energy on the continent. At the same time, the members of the association will be able to strengthen their presence on the continent. #AREA#SouthAfrica#USA#BRICS#Africa
