At a White House gathering with African leaders on 9 July 2025, the President of Senegal appealed directly to former U.S. President Donald Trump by praising his golf skills and suggesting that he invest in building a golf course in Senegal. The Senegalese leader said the sport’s demand for “concentration and precision” mirrored qualities of great leadership and offered Trump an opportunity to showcase his abilities on African soil. Trump acknowledged the invitation but remarked that travelling to Senegal would be “quite a long trip.” The exchange, which unfolded as several African heads of state sought to attract U.S. investment, illustrated the sometimes personal and highly transactional tone that has come to characterize diplomatic engagements with Trump.
President of Senegal: Hey Trump, you’re so good at resolving crises. And you’re so good at golf too. How about building a golf course in Senegal to show off your skills? Seems like a pretty weak ask. Maybe African leaders aren’t ambitious enough. https://t.co/hkxg9PVb5o
