Contexto de la relación
Panorama general
Cameroon and the United States have cooperated on regional security, including Cameroon’s authorization of a U.S. military deployment for surveillance against Boko Haram. U.S. policy has also included security assistance and trade benefits, alongside restrictions and assistance suspensions tied to human-rights concerns, particularly amid the Anglophone conflict.
