What the U.S. Political Transition Might Mean for Africa Generally and Its Oil and Gas Sector in Particular
By Jude Kearney, Chairman of the US/Africa Committee of the Africa Energy Chamber
2021 could be the beginning of a much needed reset for US relations with Africa and its various countries and regions. To date, most African governments have responded positively to the results of the recent U.S. presidential election, with many African leaders offering their congratulations to Joe Biden. That is no surprise: Donald Trump s presidency has been, at best, a mixed bag for Africa and Africans.

President Trump’s Africa Legacy
