Abstract
The U.S. policy toward Africa has never been a priority in the foreign affairs of all U.S. administrations. While inheriting most of the policies from its predecessor, each administration also makes some mild changes to its Africa policy according to new situations. It is fair to say that the U.S. policies toward Africa are basically consistent and for the most part characterized by ideological infiltration. Since the beginning of the 21st century, as economic and trade cooperation between China and Africa continues to grow, the United States has got more anxious. Under the Trump administration in particular, the U.S.-China relationship was defined as strategic competition, which expedited the pace of strategic rivalry and confrontation between them on a global scale, and Africa was turned into a venue for strategic competition with China
by the U.S. The Biden administration basically continued with its predecessor’s Africa policy which highlights major country competition and Africa has been incorporated into the U.S. global strategy.
