About the Roundtable

It’s been 100 days since Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office — a presidency marked by bold policies, unconventional rhetoric, and strong nationalist tones. But what does Trump 2.0 mean for Africa?

This CIAPS Roundtable invites critical voices from across sectors to examine the dangers and prospects emerging from Trump’s early decisions and declarations in office, particularly as they affect the African continent.
