Aliko Dangote may not agree with president Donald Trump that higher tariffs would be good for the United States, but the Nigerian businessman thinks they could work for his own country. “If you look at what president Trump is doing right now-not that I agree with what he is doing because they are in a totally different economy to what we are-but if you look at where we are today, where there’s no protection, then you are not going to have any industries,” Dangote said to rousing applause.
