United States President Joe Biden is visiting Angola this week on his first-ever bilateral trip to Africa as president – weeks before he leaves the post to Donald Trump.
Biden arrived in the Angolan capital, Luanda, on Monday, after a brief stop in the West African nation of Cape Verde. The three-day trip to Angola, many analysts say, represents a final, desperate attempt to fulfil a promise Biden made long ago, and counter China’s expanding influence on the continent.
