American billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates has disclosed that a meeting with United States President Donald Trump is on the horizon. While speaking to the BBC, Gates revealed that the meeting would be aimed at finding a compromise on the halting of funding aid to Africa, as was seen in the disbandment of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
Gates noted that the meeting would be necessary in addressing the hardline stance adopted by the US toward Africa, which has heavily affected countries such as Kenya. "I am sure in the next three to four months I will get a chance to share my thoughts with him (Trump).
I will make a strong case that the US should stay involved (in aid funding).
I will be as loud as I can on Trump's aid cuts," Gates stated.
