Hi, I'm Ravi Agrawal, Foreign Policy's editor-in-chief. This is FP Live.

Welcome to the show and to the third installment of our election series, America Votes What It Means for

the World. Today, we're focusing on Africa. Now, before you even think it, yes, Africa isn't a country.

It's a giant continent encompassing a range of different languages and cultures and histories.

But part of what we're doing this week is to look at how the two presidential candidates,

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, agree and disagree on policies toward various parts of the world.

We've looked at the Middle East, we've looked at Europe, and today we want to focus on Africa.

Which brings me to one sad fact. The last U.S. President to visit Africa anywhere on the continent was Barack Obama in 2015.

Trump did not go. Biden was hoping to go last month to Angola, but he cancelled his trip because of

Hurricane Milton. Would a President Harris give Africa a bit more attention? Would Trump in the second

term? Is Africa even an area of importance for the United States? Or does it show up mostly

when it's an arena for competition with China?

Well, I have two excellent guests with me today.

Martin Kimani is the former Kenyan ambassador to the United Nations.

He now runs the Center on International Cooperation at New York University.

And Zaneh Bussman is the inaugural director of the Africa program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

She previously worked at the World Bank.
