Trump finally hosts African leader at the White House

None

After more than a year in office, President Donald Trump for the first time is hosting an African president at the White House.

 

The meeting with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday comes after an uncomfortable start to the Trump administration's approach to the world's second most populous continent.

 

Security and economic issues top the agenda for the bilateral meeting and working lunch. Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with almost 200 million people, is the largest economy on the continent and the leading crude oil exporter.
