President Bola Tinubu has been excluded among the African leaders invited to the White House for discussions on trade and commercial opportunities
Trump is scheduled to host leaders from Senegal, Mauritania, Liberia, Guinea-Bissau, and Gabon on July 9.

“President Trump believes that African countries offer incredible commercial opportunities which benefit both the American people and our African partners,” the official stated.

Despite the aid cuts, Washington has emphasized its commitment to strengthening trade and investment ties that promote shared economic growth.
