The Telegraph: Lammy: Trump’s Africa aid cuts could benefit China
David Lammy cautioned that Donald Trump's foreign aid cuts could allow China to increase its influence in Africa. He compared Trump's actions to the UK's closure of the Department for International Development, which he called a strategic mistake, emphasizing the importance of development as a soft power tool.
