Africa, the other battleground of the American religious right

The budget cuts by President Donald Trump to USAID have severely impacted food aid, vaccine distribution, and HIV prevention programs in Africa. Lesser-known initiatives, such as LGBT+ rights advocacy and sexual health education, also suffered. Elon Musk initiated this cultural war against development aid, labeling USAID as a hub of leftist ideologies. Trump's national security strategy echoes this sentiment, criticizing previous American policies in Africa for promoting liberal ideologies and instead pushing for a conservative agenda supported by evangelical allies.
