Summary

This week, leaders from 49 African nations traveled to Washington D.C. for the U.S.-African Leaders Summit hosted by the Biden Administration. The summit was the first to occur in eight years and comes at a crucial time for U.S.-African relations. Countries such as Russia and China have held similar meetings with African diplomats as they try to grow their trade and military influence. Senior Associate with the Africa Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and Former Director of Africa Affairs on the National Security Council for the Bush Administration, Cameron Hudson explains the importance of the summit and emphasizes why the U.S. must follow through to their commitments. A set of internal Twitter documents called "The Twitter Files" were released this month by CEO Elon Musk along with freelance journalist Matt Taibbi, opinion writer Bari Weiss, and author Michael Shellenberger. The files provided confirmation and colorful details that large companies such as Twitter tend to be dominated by workers with a particular ideological mindset and work to quiet other voices who may challenge those views. Editor-at-Large of the Wall Street Journal and Host of Wall Street Journal At Large on the FOX Business Network Gerald Baker explains the dangers of labeling differing opinions as illegitimate and weighs in on the possibility of United States lawmakers getting involved.
