Hello, you're listening to Business Daily on the BBC World Service.

I'm Michael Kalki.

Today we're looking at what a second Donald Trump presidency means for Africa.

It's busy out here on the streets of the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.

The business community here and in other parts of the continent

are keenly following the build-up to the U.S. presidential inauguration.

As Donald Trump returns to the White House,

we'll look at what the future could hold.

From my view, Trump is running a protectionist agenda, looking at his campaign rhetoric.

If you actually want to develop, you can't do that specific. Let me do that way without Africa.

Some people here are concerned that the president-elect will put his focus on domestic U.S. economic policies.

Others are adamant that he cannot ignore trade with countries here on the African continent.

So today or business daily, we are going to try and understand just how Trump might relate to Africa.

Thank you. just how Trump might relate to Africa. As I walk down this street here in Nairobi, I can see a number of business premises.

I can see a computer hardware and software shop to my right here.

It has the logo of an American technology company outside its

front entrance. And there's a truck, there's a truck just passing by here that has the logo of

quite a well-known soft drink, whose global headquarters are located in the United States.

So it seems like for a country like Kenya, for example,

there are visible trade connections with the United States

that one can sport quite easily.

Will these signs still be that visible
