Africa's Counter Move: Two West African Nations Ban US Citizens Amid Global Diplomatic Tensions

Two West African nations have issued simultaneous bans on American citizens in a diplomatic tit-for-tat move following a recent decision by the Trump administration, amid heightened tensions with both the US and Europe, and as Russia seeks to capitalize on global instability. The ban affects travel and business ties between the countries, with the exact details of the restrictions yet to be confirmed. The move is seen as a reciprocal response to previous actions taken by the US government, which have been criticized for their impact on African nations. The tensions come as Russia seeks to exploit the divisions.
