African Youth Survey Shows Broad Optimism Toward Trump's Approach

A new African Youth Survey across 16 countries found that roughly three in five respondents aged 18 to 24 believe President Donald Trump's leadership could benefit the continent. This marks a shift from 2024, when more young Africans favored then-President Joe Biden. Despite Trump's past disparaging comments about Africa, support for U.S. influence remains strong, with Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and Rwanda showing the highest levels.
