President Trump issued an executive order rescinding Executive Order (EO) 14089, Establishing the President’s Advisory Council on African Diaspora Engagement in the United States, signed by President Biden on December 13th, 2022. EO 14089 acknowledged that the African Diaspora in the United States—both African immigrants and the descendants of enslaved Africans—have been a source of strength for the country as well as foundational to shaping United States-Africa relations. The order established an Advisory Council on African Diaspora Engagement in the United States to better foster and encourage efforts to advance equity and opportunity for the African Diaspora in the United States, and to strengthen ties between African communities, the global African diaspora, and the United States.
