In a competitive world where states have no friends, only interests, America, once a land of resilience, freedom, hospitality, and opportunity for all, regardless origins, or religious grounds, has taken a new turn never before taken by its administrations with trump assumption of office. With restrictive visa policies, stopped NGOs programs, customs tariffs increased, and restrictive immigration policies enacted, the Trump administration has been embarking on a reorganization of America’s political and economic system in order to “make America great again.” In the perspective to correct what he regards as being unfair trade, Trump has shaped a new worldwide tariff policy, moving from minimum to double according to the imbrication and the stakes and the ongoing issues that determine the relationship with the US. In doing so, in this paper, we mean to demonstrate how emigration and customs policies are impacting and will continue to impact African economies that have, so far, been dependent on support from NGOs such as USAID and many other socio-media structures that draw their funding from the generosity of the US government.
