Trump told African leaders to wrap up their speeches quickly and just state your name and country directly. Trump held a lunch meeting at the White House with leaders from Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania, and Senegal to discuss trade and regional security situations. These small countries, in Trump's eyes, are just a side dish. His point is that you don't have the qualification to negotiate, and what you say is all nonsense. Trump mainly values the resources of these countries, and meeting with African leaders is just a superficial gesture. Trump has never really been interested in Africa; he always just goes through the motions, and this time is no different. African presidents shouldn't take it seriously.
