Episode 1: The Ripple Effect: How The US Elections Can Shape African Economies
On November 5, U.S. voters re-elected President Donald Trump for a second and final term. They also elected Republican majorities in the United States Senate and in the House of Representatives. The composition of the US Congress is of particular interest for Africa as multilateral deals such as the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) heads for renewal in its 25th year. Over and above this, the tone and policies that Congress adopts can have ripple effects across the continent and the broader geopolitical landscape. This podcast explores themes and developments you can expect following the election.
