The pamphlet says recent Congressional action to significantly cut aid to Africa is only one sign among many of a trend to reduce U.S. involvement on the continent; how much further Africa is marginalized in the U.S. will ultimately depend on the ability of Africa's multiple constituencies to reverse this trend. The pamphlet says the U.S. has special historical responsibilities toward a select number of other countries-Liberia, Angola, Somalia, and Sudan. The pamphlet says Nigeria is the largest trading partner of the U.S. in Africa and the third largest U.S. oil supplier after Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. The pamphlet discusses the Economic Community of Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA).
