Trump Seeks to Reset US-Africa Ties with Bold Investment Pitch

At a Riyadh investment forum, President Donald Trump called Africa a land of untapped value. He urged greater regional unity to unlock the continent’s economic potential. Analysts note that Africa is now central to global supply chains and resource security. The United States is moving to secure critical minerals like lithium and cobalt from key markets such as the DRC, Zambia and Guinea. China, Europe and Gulf states are also scaling up investments across mining, energy, logistics and agriculture. Major players include Chinese firms in Tanzania’s rare earths, European oil giants in Nigeria and Saudi agribusiness ventures in East Africa. Experts say Africa’s future depends on turning growing investor interest into sustainable growth. Stronger policy frameworks, infrastructure spending and deeper regional integration will be vital to keep value creation on the continent.
