Trump Administration Considers Merging US Africa Command into European Command

 Micro Soft Network (MSN) published on 25 February 2025 an article titled "President Trump's Plan to Dismantle U.S. Africa Command Under Review" by Victor Oluwole.  

The Trump administration is considering an executive action to dismantle the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and transfer its responsibilities to the U.S. European Command (EUCOM).  This was the organizational structure prior to 2007, although the primary goal now seems to be a desire to eliminate the command in order to downsize engagement in Africa.
