The U.S. Government has announced plans to close the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), an agency known for funding infrastructure projects across Africa.

This move marks a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy, especially toward African nations, as President Donald Trump steers the country toward reduced international engagement.

The MCC has funded roads, energy, and water projects in several African countries, promoting development through U.S. partnerships.

Critics view the closure as a setback for diplomacy and development, signaling a retreat from America’s soft power influence on the continent.
