While Africa is frequently overlooked in discussions of U.S. foreign policy, The Other Superpower is working to expand its presence on the continent. China, Russia, and Iran are working with local governments to advance their revisionist agendas, secure diplomatic and material backing, and displace Western influence whenever possible. Aleksandra Gadzala Tirziu, nonresident Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council and Vandenberg Advisory Board member, and Joshua Meservey, Senior Fellow at Hudson Institute, join to examine The Other Superpower’s strategy in Africa, the potential frictions among countries within this anti-American coalition, and how the United States might best respond.
