America First, White Supremacy in Effect: Trump’s Global Legacy on African Lives
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Donald Trump’s second-term presidency is not simply a continuation of his earlier agenda — it is an escalation. Under the doctrine of “America First,” Trump has unleashed policies that reinforce white supremacy on a global scale: stripping life-saving aid from HIV-positive mothers in Uganda, imposing tariffs that collapsed factories in Lesotho, deporting Africans to countries they have never lived in, and inviting Afrikaners as “preferred refugees” while slamming the door on Black migrants from Nigeria, Eritrea, Somalia, and beyond.
In this searing episode of Rethinking Freedom, host Aya Fubara Eneli is joined by Adesoji Iginla — journalist, host of African News Review, co-host of Women and Resistance, and author of Africa Illuminated. Together they investigate the ways Trump’s second-term policies are reshaping African destinies across the continent and in the United States.
Who prospers under America First? Whose lives are considered disposable? And how must Africans — wherever we are — organize intellectually, politically, and economically to resist being the sacrificial offering on the altar of someone else’s nationalism?
Tune in — because freedom is global, and the fight is far from over.
