As the impact of the new Trump administration’s Executive Orders comes into focus, the Georgetown University Africa-China Initiative has gathered experts for a webinar to consider the respective roles of the United States, African states, and China in navigating new policies and new emerging power dynamics. They will also discuss potential impacts, particularly as related to tariff policies and the impact on investments, trade, and foreign relations among African states, China, and the United States.

This event is co-sponsored by Georgetown University’s Africa-China Initiative, the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues, and the African Studies and Asian Studies Programs at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, as well as Howard University’s Center for African Studies.
