He praised Ivory Coast for hosting the tournament and emphasized the role of sports in "forging connections between people."

Discussions will focus on regional security, conflict prevention, democracy promotion, and trade. The trip highlights the administration's efforts to boost ties in Africa through sports diplomacy and people-to-people connections.
