President Donald Trump's decision to recall U.S. ambassadors from abroad will leave Washington without high-level representation in more than half of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa. This move has raised concerns in diplomatic circles and among international partners, who see it as a signal of a reduced priority for U.S.-African relations. The absence of ambassadors could complicate bilateral cooperation in key areas such as trade, security, and development. Experts note that this situation could negatively impact the U.S. image as a reliable partner on the African continent and create opportunities for other powers, such as China and Russia, to increase their influence.
