Trump: Latest moves and what they mean for Africa and the world

Donald Trump still shapes headlines around the globe. If a policy from Washington can change trade costs, migration flows, or diplomatic ties, you'll find it here. We track stories that matter to African readers — not just U.S. politics for its own sake, but the concrete effects on trade, travel, and regional diplomacy.

Why this tag matters

Policies from the U.S. president often ripple out fast. For example, our piece "Colombia and US Sidestep Trade War Through Late-Night Agreement on Deportation Flights" explains how a dispute over deportation flights sparked retaliatory tariffs from President Trump and nearly tipped into a trade conflict. That’s a clear case: a U.S. decision on migration policy led to trade pressure that could hit exporters and supply chains across the region.

On this tag page you’ll find quick summaries of every Trump-related article we publish, plus plain-language context so you can see the likely local impact. Want to know if a tariff or visa rule affects goods you import or a business you follow? We’ll point that out.
