John Bolton: US aid programs will counter China’s ‘imperial’ play in Africa

President Trump’s administration is wise to China’s play for dominance in Africa and is overhauling U.S. foreign aid programs to fight back, national security adviser John Bolton said Thursday.

“Great power competitors, namely China and Russia, are rapidly expanding their financial and political influence across Africa,” Bolton told the Heritage Foundation. “They are deliberately and aggressively targeting their investments in the region to gain a competitive advantage over the United States.”
