  • In Angola on likely his last overseas trip in office, the president will tour a slavery museum and spotlight a rail corridor that is part of his administration's strategy in the region.

The article from The New York Times discusses President Joe Biden's strategic pivot towards Africa, highlighted by his visit to Angola. This visit underscores a broader U.S. initiative to deepen economic ties with African nations, focusing on sustainable development, infrastructure investment, and countering the influence of China and Russia on the continent. Biden's trip aims to foster partnerships that promote democracy, human rights, and economic growth, with specific emphasis on Angola's potential in renewable energy and agriculture. The U.S. is committing to support Angola in diversifying its economy away from oil dependency, through investments in solar power, agriculture, and technology sectors. This approach is part of a larger U.S. strategy to engage with Africa not just as a recipient of aid, but as a partner in mutual economic benefit, aiming to create jobs, improve infrastructure, and enhance regional stability.
