The statement quoted Leonard saying, “I would look to harness U.S. tools, from existing ones like the African Growth and Opportunity Act and our hard-working Foreign Commercial and Agriculture Service Officers.

“To newer ones like Prosper Africa and the Development Finance Cooperation’s increased budget for insurance, loans and loan guarantees, and equity investments.

“To promote our mutual prosperity,” it stated.
