In 2017, [[Donald Trump]], [[President of the United States]], issued an executive order to ban citizens from seven countries with suspected links to terrorism from entering the United States. Three of these are African countries, and members of the AU. During the 28th African Union Summit in Ethiopia, African leaders criticised the ban as they expressed their growing concerns for the future of the African economy under President Trump's leadership and subsequent policies.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.democracynow.org/2017/1/31/headlines/african_union_slams_trump_muslim_ban_invoking_legacy_of_transatlantic_slave_trade |title=African Union Slams Trump Muslim Ban, Invoking Legacy of Transatlantic Slave Trade |website=Democracy Now! |access-date=1 February 2017 |archive-date=31 January 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170131185724/https://www.democracynow.org/2017/1/31/headlines/african_union_slams_trump_muslim_ban_invoking_legacy_of_transatlantic_slave_trade |url-status=live }}</ref>
