WASHINGTON, July 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said African nations are going to lower their tariffs and that the United States treats Africa better than China does, adding that five African countries were unlikely to face U.S. tariffs.

Trump, meeting with the leaders of Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania and Senegal at the White House, added that he did not think those countries at the gathering were likely to see any U.S. tariffs.
