NATO Withdrawing from Africa?

2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the North Atlantic Treaty Association (NATO). The President of the USA, Donald Trump is not an ardent support of NATO, or indeed many other things and has called for America First," that other NATO member states weren't sharing the burden, and so he might withdraw from it, and that there would be a reduction of American armed forces in Africa. This report considers NATO and the USA in Africa since the end of the Cold War and looks to the future. The role of others, China, Russia, Iran, Turkey, the United Nations and the European Union will also be detailed to consider if they could or would fill a void if NATO and the USA withdrew or if their increasing interest would prompt Trump to be more active in NATO and in Africa.
