Only one country (namely Portugal) had any dealings with West African coast countries at the time. Portugal hoped to find gold there, and wanted to find the mystical Kingdom of Priest John, which turned out not to exist.
Calling Portugal a "major trading partner of West African empires" would be a vast overstatement. They got out some gold in exchange for iron tools, cloth etcetra but that was about it. Further travels along the West African coast by the Portuguese all had the purpose of finding a route to Asia.

West African kingdoms played a significant role in the transatlantic slave trade by capturing and trading enslaved individuals from rival tribes or communities. They established complex trading networks with European powers, exchanging slaves for goods such as firearms, textiles, and metalware. The kingdoms often engaged in warfare and raids to acquire captives, which intensified social and political dynamics in the region. This involvement had lasting impacts on West African societies, contributing to demographic changes and social disruption.
