As the Biden administration renews ties with African leaders, what might a new transatlantic cooperation strategy for Africa look like? How have the US and Germany worked to alleviate the effects of the Russian war in Ukraine on food security in the global south? What global structural reforms of the multilateral system are necessary for the success of the development agenda?
