The United States has warned Africa to not get carried away by China’s empty promises.
The US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo revealed this as he wrapped up his African tour in the Ethiopian capital.
According to him, China runs an authoritarian regime and they breed corruption and dependency there.
He added that President Trump wants a better relationship between the United States and the nations all over Africa.
His words, “Countries should be wary of authoritarian regimes with empty promises. They breed corruption, dependency, they don’t hire the local people, they don’t train and they don’t lead them. They run the risk that the prosperity and sovereignty and progress that Africa so needs and desperately wants won’t happen”,
“If there’s one thing you need to know about our president my boss you need to know that he likes deals. He wants more, he wants more between the United States and the nations of all Africa.”
