Reports indicate former Senegalese President Macky Sall’s campaign for the position of UN Secretary-General is encountering difficulties in establishing communication with the Trump administration. According to Confidentiel Afrique, Sall’s team attempted to engage with U.S. officials, but these efforts have not yet yielded concrete results. The succession race for António Guterres’s role is described as highly competitive, involving intense lobbying from multiple candidates. These claims remain unconfirmed by Washington or Sall’s representatives. Securing support within the UN Security Council is crucial for any candidate, and Sall’s bid is part of a broader international competition. No official statements have been released by the UN, the U.S. administration, or Sall’s team regarding these reports.
