As Donald Trump has taken over office for his second term as U.S. President, concerns are rising in Nigeria regarding his immigration policies and potential impacts on trade and health initiatives. Trump has vowed to reinstate his controversial travel ban, which previously included Nigeria, targeting legal migration and deporting undocumented immigrants.
Experts warn that Trump’s administration may be politically and economically unfavorable for Nigeria, with a focus on “America First” policies sidelining global cooperation. Additionally, his appointment of Robert Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health raises concerns about vaccine production and public health initiatives, which have been vital for Nigeria.
Furthermore, Trump’s push to boost U.S. oil production could lower global prices, impacting Nigeria’s economy heavily reliant on oil exports. As the African Growth and Opportunity Act faces potential changes under Trump, Nigerian analysts predict a challenging landscape ahead for trade relations.
