Abstract:
It is sometimes said that when America sneezes, the world catches a cold. The opposite scenario may also apply: a healthy and progressive American economy and democracy provides needed resources and hope to many parts of the world, including Africa. Four years ago, we wrote an optimistic message in this journal.2,3 We asserted that newly-minted President Joseph Biden would reinstate and strengthen Obama-era global health programs that former President Donald Trump stripped and defunded during his four-year term. These programs included support for combatting and preventing HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, reproductive health, and infectious disease research.
