非洲面临着市场分散和贸易壁垒带来的经济挑战,但非洲大陆自由贸易区(非洲自由贸易区)具有促进大陆内部贸易、创造就业机会和区域一体化的潜力。 Africa faces economic challenges from fragmented markets and trade barriers, but the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) offers potential to boost intra-continental trade, job creation, and regional integration. 尽管目前非洲内部贸易水平较低,但减少非关税壁垒和提高边境效率的努力可以拉动增长,特别是因为人口年轻,来自中国、阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯的外国投资不断增加。 Despite low current intra-African trade levels, efforts to reduce non-tariff barriers and improve border efficiency could unlock growth, especially with a youthful population and rising foreign investment from China, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. 虽然美国贸易政策扰乱了非洲的一些出口,但这些政策也刺激了向多样化全球伙伴关系的战略转变。 While U.S. trade policies have disrupted some African exports, they’ve also spurred a strategic shift toward diversified global partnerships. 在肯尼亚,BBI倡议失败的政治后果有助于推动William Ruto的崛起,凸显了当前与精英治理的斗争。 In Kenya, political fallout from the failed BBI initiative helped propel William Ruto’s rise, highlighting ongoing struggles with elite governance. 与此同时,与MAGA有联系的美国保守游说者进入了科特迪瓦的竞选,引起人们对外国在民主进程中的影响的关切。 Meanwhile, U.S. conservative lobbyists linked to MAGA have entered Côte d’Ivoire’s electoral race, raising concerns about foreign influence in democratic processes.
