Vice President Harris is heading to Ghana, Tanzania and Zambia on Saturday for a week-long trip aimed at deepening the White House's outreach and countering Chinese influence there.
"It's a partnership that's not a one-way street. It's not about imposing solutions. And it's not just about foreign aid or humanitarian assistance," a senior administration official said."It's about mutual investment and mutual economic growth and creative partnerships and deep people-to-people connections between the American people and the people on the African continent.
China and Russia try"to build dependency," said Mark Green, a former ambassador to Tanzania who was head of the U.S. Agency for International Development during the Trump administration."We seek to build self-reliance," Green said in an interview. "Whenever you say 'strategic' or whenever you talk about China, the natural reaction for Africans is, 'OK, well, this isn't about us, it's about somebody else,'" Green said.
