Trump's "Prosper Africa" Fixated on China

World Politics Review published on 16 July 2019 a commentary titled "Trump's 'Prosper Africa' Strategy Is Fixated on a Cold War-Like View of China" by Kimberly Ann Elliott, George Washington University.

The author points out that the $50 million proposed budget for Prosper Africa, the Trump administration's new Africa strategy, is a drop in the bucket compared to the administration's proposed 9 percent cut in overall aid to Africa. It is also a tiny fraction of financing offered by China.
