Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy initially proposed that deal last fall in hopes of strengthening his country’s hand in its conflict with Russia by tying U.S. interests to Ukraine’s future.If the deal the U.S. is envisioning in east Congo goes well, it might end up stabilizing the region, said Gyude Moore, a former Cabinet minister in the West African nation of Liberia, now at the Center for Global Development, a think tank in Washington.
If not, “this deal, especially in a region crawling with conflict where there hasn’t been a credible political solution, is fraught with risks for the United States as it pursues this extractive foreign policy in Africa,” Moore said.Liam Karr, the Africa team lead at the Washington-based American Enterprise Institute’s critical threats project, said the Trump administration and its advisers know enough to avoid the risks, including those of getting American security forces directly involved.The larger risk is that American intervention meets the fate of U.N. and African peace efforts before it, Karr said. “And this just kind of falls flat on its face, and doesn’t go anywhere.”
