ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) — The United States and Ivory Coast have signed a health deal that would require the U.S. to commit $480 million to the West African nation’s health sector. Tuesday’s deal in Ivory Coast’s capital of Abidjan is part of “America First” global health funding pacts that mirror the Trump administration’s foreign policy. It covers areas such as HIV, malaria, maternal and child health. The deal is the latest agreement the U.S. has entered with more than a dozen African countries most of them hit by U.S. aid cuts including Ivory Coast. The Trump administration says the new “America First” global health funding agreements are meant to increase self-sufficiency and eliminate what it says are ideology and waste from international assistance.
