Trump to African Leaders: ‘Our Prosperity Depends Above All on Peace’

‘The United States will partner with the countries and organizations like the African union that lead successful efforts to end violence, to prevent the spread of terrorism and to respond to humanitarian crises’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Yet, we know that our prosperity depends above all on peace. The United States will partner with the countries and organizations like the African Union that lead successful efforts to end violence, to prevent the spread of terrorism and to respond to humanitarian crises. I commend your troops currently serving in the field, very brave, very, very brave what they are going through. As you well know, too many people are suffering from conflict in Africa. In the Central African Republic, the Congo, Libya, Mali, Somalia and South Sudan among others, they are going through some very, very tough and very dangerous times. Terrorist groups such as ISIS, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram and Al Qaeda also threaten African peace. The United States is proud to work with you to eradicate terrorists' safe havens, to cut off their finances and to discredit their depraved ideology."
