WASHINGTON, July 9 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump met with leaders of five African countries on Wednesday, saying the United States is shifting its policy toward the continent "from aid to trade."

At a meeting with the leaders of Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania and Senegal at the White House, D. Trump said that there is “great economic potential” in Africa.

He said the United States is working to "create new economic opportunities involving both the United States and many African countries."

“We are moving from aid to trade,” the US president said. “In the long run, this will be far more effective, sustainable and beneficial than anything else we could do together,” he noted.

Mr Trump also suggested that five countries could be exempted from his administration's plan to impose higher tariffs that would begin in August.

The mini-summit will last three days, and is expected to top the agenda to expand U.S. access to critical minerals and other natural resources in Africa, according to media reports. –0–
