  • Africa: USA-Africa - No Policy? Bad Policy? or Both?

    BOTSWANA, 2017/08/30 "Africa is terra incognita for the Trump Government: a continent it cares little - and understands even less - about.

Page The headline to Page's article in Quartz Africa states that "Donald Trump could be getting his US-Africa policy right by simply not having one."

Second, there is very little support for withdrawing from NAFTA in Congress, so Trump risks further alienating significant portions of his own party. Third, some legal scholars have offered that the president does not even have the power to do so. While foreign policy treaties like alliances may be canceled by the president autonomously, trade treaties are not the same. They fall under the Commerce Clause in the US Constitution, which stipulates that Congress has authority," the expert explained.
