The trip aims to lay the foundation for a new U.S. approach to Africa in response to growing communist Chinese influence on the continent, an official said.
Traffickers linked to ISIS terrorists cooperate with Chinese traders to illegally export natural resources in Mozambique, according to a report and experts.
It will be challenging for the new Trump administration to counter China and Russia’s influence on Africa, which has grown in the past 4 years, experts say.
