Special attention was paid to Egypt. As before, the ruling regimes in South Sudan and Democratic Republic of the Congo were «blacklisted». The relations with the Republic of South Africa were equable, but rather cool. US supported the UN led political process in Libya/ Military assistance was rendered to the Government of National Accord. In Kenya, where the opposition refused to recognize the results of presidential elections, Washington called upon the parties to resolve the problem through dialogue. The legitimacy of president Uhuru reelection was not put in doubt. President Museveni of Uganda statement that Trump's policy would help African leaders to get rid of dependency syndrome was appreciated in Washington. Close remained the relations with Nigeria.
